Cytokinesis in animal cells is accomplished by constriction of the cell along the plane of cell division (formation of a cleavage furrow). In plant cells, which have cell walls, a completely different mechanism of cytokinesis has evolved.

Which of the following statements are true of cytokinesis in plant cells? Select the two that apply.

After chromosome separation is complete, a network of microfilaments forms near the plane of cell division that will separate the two new cells.

The cell plate consists of the plasma membrane and cell wall that will eventually separate the two daughter cells.

The plasma membrane of the parent cell grows inward, eventually joining with the cell plate.

Vesicles from the Golgi apparatus move along microtubules, coalesce at the plane of cell division, and form a cell plate.

option A and option D

Explanation:

cytokinesis in plant cells is aided by the formation of a cell plate. prior to cell plate formation which is situated at the middle, a complex network of microtubules, microfilaments, and endoplasmic reticulum elements assemble in two opposing groups perpendicular to the plane of the future cell plate during anaphase and telophase. this aids in the movement of vessicles coming from the golgi apparatus forming the cell plate.
