Question
How does cytokinesis in plant cells differ from that in animal cells?
Distinguish Between
Solution
| Plant cytokinesis | Animal cytokinesis | |
| 1. | The division of the cytoplasm takes place through cell plate formation. | The division of the cytoplasm takes place by cleavage. |
| 2. | Cell plate formation starts at the centre of the cell and grows outward, towards the lateral walls. | Cleavage starts at the periphery and then moves inward, dividing the cell into two parts. |
| 3. | It usually occurs by cell plate method. | It takes place by cleavage. |
| 4. |
The central portion of the spindle enlarges and develops into an interdigited complex known as phragmoplast. |
In the centre forms a dense, fibrous, vesicular substance midbody. |
| 5. |
Cell plate grows centrifugally. |
Cleavage progresses centripetally. |
| 6. |
The Golgi apparatus's vesicles are the source of the new cell membrane. |
The endoplasmic reticulum is typically the source of the new cell membrane. |
