INTRODUCTION TO BIOLOGY UNIT 4 LEARNING JOURNAL ASSIGNMENT Cytokinesis, in biological terminology refers to the part of the cell division through which the cytoplasm of one cell divides into two daughter cells. In other words, it is the process by which on eukaryotic cell physically divides into two cells (Britannica, n.d.). Similarities: As there are many several similarities between plant cell and animal cell cytokinesis, I am going to discuss few of them. 1: The cell division process in plant cell and animal cell help to provide equal distribution of the nuclear and cytoplasmic import between the two daughter cells (Supriya, 2023). 2: Plant cell and animal cell cytokinesis are significant components in the process of cell growth. 3: Interestly, the two cells persist up to the telophase stage of the cell division cycle. The telophase is the phase of mitosis. In this stage, the newly separated daughter chromosomes get their own individual nuclear membranes and the same set of chromosomes (Supriya, 2023). Differences: When it comes to cell motion or cell division, both plant and animal cells develops into two cells through the process called cell plate and contractile ring formation. In relation to cytokinesis mode, there are factors that separate the mechanism of the cell division process in both plant and animal cells. In cytokinesis mode, plant cell produces daughter cells through the formation of cell-furrow. On the other hand, cytokinesis mode in animal cell produces two nascent cells by the fusion of phragmoplast related vesicles at the metaphase plate (Supriya, 2023). References: Supriya, N., (2023).
