What is the difference between cytokinesis in animal cells vs. plant cells? |
|
Definition
In animal cells the cell is divided by a ring of actin which contracts and pinches the duplicated materials into 2 cells.
In plant cells vesicles filled with cellulose and other cell wall building materials migrate to the center of the cell and fuse together to form a cell wall between the duplicated materials.
