Question

comparing cytokinesis
in animal and plant cells,
cytokinesis results in two
daughter cells. however, the
process is different. use the
images to compare
cytokinesis in animal and
plant cells.

1. cytokinesis in

results in the formation of a
cell plate between the new
cells, while cytokinesis in
only pinches the cell
membrane in half.

Explanation:

Cytokinesis differs between plant and animal cells due to the presence of a rigid cell wall in plant cells. Plant cells form a cell plate that develops into a new cell wall between daughter cells. Animal cells lack a cell wall, so their cell membrane pinches inward (cleavage furrow) to split the cell.

Answer:

1. Cytokinesis in plant cells results in the formation of a cell plate between the new cells, while cytokinesis in animal cells only pinches the cell membrane in half.
