Mitosis and Cytokinesis CK-12 Foundation

cytokinesis  Cytokinesis Cytokinesis is the process by which a cell divides its cytoplasm to produce two daughter cells As the final step in cell division after Animal cells undergo cytokinesis through the process of cleavage, forming a cleavage furrow which pinches the cell into two In contrast, plant cells form a

Cytokinesis occurs by a special mechanism in higher-plant cells—in which the cytoplasm is partitioned by the construction of a new cell wall, the cell plate, Cytokinesis, the final step in cell division, partitions the contents of a single cell into two In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs through

Cytokinesis definition: the division of the cell cytoplasm that usually follows mitotic or meiotic division of the nucleus See examples of CYTOKINESIS Cytokinesis in animal and plant cells with diagram · Generally, cytokinesis takes place in four stages: · Initiation and formation of the
