Cytokinesis is the process of division of the parent cell cytoplasm into the daughter cells.
In plants, the process of cytokinesis begins with the formation of a cell plate that forms from the centre of the cell, moving outwards.
In plant cell cytokinesis, cell wall formation takes place.
In animal cells, cytokinesis begins with the formation of a furrow which begins at the periphery of the cell moving towards the centre, forming a contractile ring that constricts the cell. There is no cell wall formation.
Final answer:
In plants, the process of cytokinesis begins with the formation of a cell plate that forms from the centre of the cell, moving outwards.
In animal cells, cytokinesis begins with the formation of a furrow which begins at the periphery of the cell moving towards the centre, forming a contractile ring that constricts the cell.
