Difference between cytokinesis of plants and cytokinesis in animals. |
| Answer» \tBASIS OF COMPARISONCYTOKINESIS IN PLANTSCYTOKINESIS IN ANIMALSDescriptionThe process of division of the cytoplasm in the plant cell is what is referred to as Cytokinesis in the plant cell. The process of division of cytoplasm in an animal cell is what is referred to as Cytokinesis in animal cell. How It BeginsIt starts with the formation of cell plate during telophase. It starts as a constriction in the cell membrane during late anaphase or early telophase. Cell Plate FormationVesicles fuse to form cell plate. A cell plate is not formed. Spindle ApparatusThe middle part of the spindle remains active during Cytokinesis in a plant cell. It forms a complex referred to as phragmoplast. During Cytokinesis in an animal cell, spindles degenerate. Process Of CytokinesisIn plant Cytokinesis, cell plate formation takes place to divide cytoplasm into two daughter cells. Cytokinesis in the animal cell takes place through cleavage. DivisionIn plant cell Cytokinesis, the cell plate develops from the center of the cell towards the lateral walls. Therefore, it is described as centrifugal. In animal cell Cytokinesis, the furrow starts to deepen from the lateral /periphery sides of the cell towards the center. Therefore, it is known as centripetal. Row Of VesiclesA row of vesicles is formed in the center of the cell during plant cell Cytokinesis. There is no row of vesicles that form during animal cell Cytokinesis. MicrofilamentsMicrofilaments play a little role in plant cell Cytokinesis. In animal cell Cytokinesis, microfilaments are very actively involved. Mid BodyA mid body is absent in plant cell Cytokinesis. A mid body of dense fibrous and vesicular material is formed in the middle. New Cell MembraneThe new cell membrane is derived from vesicles of Golgi apparatus. The new cell membrane is usually derived from endoplasmic reticulum. \t | |
