Question
### Cell Division Exercises

**Question f:**  
Which of the cells, if any, is not part of mitosis?  
- *Answer:* None

**Question 5:**  
During cytokinesis, a cell will divide into two daughter cells. Explain the difference between a cleavage furrow and a cell plate.

---

**Explanation:**  
During cytokinesis, different processes occur in animal and plant cells to complete cell division.

- **Cleavage Furrow:**  
  - Occurs in animal cells.
  - A constriction forms around the center of the cell, similar to tightening a drawstring.
  - The furrow deepens until the cell is pinched into two separate daughter cells.

- **Cell Plate:**  
  - Occurs in plant cells.
  - Vesicles derived from the Golgi apparatus move to the center of the cell and coalesce.
  - The cell plate expands outward until it reaches the cell membrane, effectively dividing the cell into two daughter cells.

This physiological difference between cell types ensures effective cellular division tailored to specific structural and functional needs.
