Question
which part of cell division is different in plant and animal cells?
cytokinesis
anaphase
mitosis
eukaryotic
Brief Explanations
- Cytokinesis: In animal cells, it occurs via cleavage furrow formation (a contractile ring of actin and myosin constricts the cell). In plant cells, a cell plate forms (vesicles from the Golgi apparatus fuse to create a new cell wall and membrane).
- Anaphase: In both plant and animal cells, sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.
- Mitosis: The process of nuclear division (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) is similar in plant and animal cells.
- Eukaryotic: This is a general term for cells with a nucleus. It does not refer to a specific part of cell division that differs between plant and animal cells.
