Question 8
How does cytokinesis in plant cells differ from that in animal cells?
Cytokinesis in plant cells | Cytokinesis is animal cells | |
The division of the cytoplasm takes place by cell plate formation. | (i) | The division of the cytoplasm takes place by cell furrow method. |
Cell plate formation starts at the centre of the cell and grows outward, toward the lateral walls. | (ii) | Furrow starts at the periphery and then moves inward, dividing the cell into two parts. |
