Compare and contrast cytokines in animal and plant cells

Cytokinesis in animal cells occur by cleavage while in plants it occurs through the formation of a cell plate.

Explanation: Cytokinesis refers to the process through which the cytoplasm divide in animal and plant cells. It occurs after the division of the nucleus. Cytokinesis in animal cells differs from that in plant cells in that, in animal cells it occurs by cleavage while in plant cells cytokinesis occurs through the formation of a cell plate. In animal cells, cleavage occurs as a result of the activity of actin and myosin which results to dividing of cytoplasm in to two. In plant cells, cell plate is formed by the fusion of golgi bodies on the equator which will generate cell wall and the plasma membrane between daughter cells.
