    How does cytokinesis in plant cells differ from that in animal cells? 

    Answer:

    Cytokinesis in an animal cell It occurs by a process called cleavage. A cleavage furrow appears and at the site of the cleavage furrow, the cytoplasm has a ring of microfilaments made of actin associated with molecules of the protein myosin. This ring of proteins will contract causing the furrow to deepen, which will then in turn pinch the cell into two separate cells. Cytokinesis in plant cell, In a plant, cell, vesicles containing cell wall material collect at the middle of the parent cell. They will fuse and form a membranous cell plate. This plate will grow outward and it accumulates more cell wall material. Eventually, the plate will fuse with the plasma membrane and the cell plate contents will join the parental cell wall. This results in two different daughter cells.
