Question

choose the two options that best describe how cytokinesis works in animal and plant cells. select all that apply. a. plant cell: the plasma membrane pinches in along the parent cells equator to form two daughter cells. b. animal cells: a cell plate forms along the equator of the parent cell and a new cell wall and plasma membrane form on either side of the plate. c. plant cells: a cell plate forms along the equator of the parent cell and a new cell wall and plasma membrane form on either side of the plate. d. animal cells: the plasma membrane pinches in along the parent cells equator to form two daughter cells.

Explanation:

Cytokinesis is the final step of cell - division. In animal cells, the plasma membrane pinches in along the cell's equator to form two daughter cells. In plant cells, a cell plate forms along the equator of the parent cell and a new cell wall and plasma membrane form on either side of the plate.

Answer:

a. Plant cell: The plasma membrane pinches in along the parent cell's equator to form two daughter cells.
d. Animal cells: The plasma membrane pinches in along the cell's equator to form two daughter cells.
