Plants perform cytokinesis differently than animals because

a. plant cytokinesis takes place during interphase but animal cytokinesis takes place in cell division.

b. plant chromosomes are more difficult to separate than animal chromosomes.

c. the rigid cell wall of the plant cell prevents the plasma membrane from pinching inward like it does in animal cells.

d. the centrosomes of plants do not replicate prior to cell division.

Plants perform cytokinesis differently than animals because plant cytokinesis takes place during interphase but animal cytokinesis takes place in cell division.

> Unlike animal cells, plant cells have a cell wall which needs to be divide or split up.

>Mitosis and cytokinesis are two different things; mitosis is the division of the components of the nucleus, whereas cytokinesis is the division of the

cytoplasm and its constituents.

Thus, the answer is letter A.
