8. How does cytokinesis in plant cells differ from that in animal cells?
The process of cytokinesis differs in plant and animal cells
| Cytokinesis in plants | Cytokinesis in animals |
|
It occurs by cell plate method |
It takes place by cleavage method |
| The spindle persists during cytokinesis | Spindle starts to degenerate after anaphase |
| Cell plate grows centrifugally | Cleavage takes place centripetally |
| The new cell membrane is derived from vesicles of Golgi apparatus | The new cell wall is derived from the endoplasmic reticulum |
