Cytokinesis — Definition & Overview

cytokinesis  Cytokinesis is the last step of cell division that partitions the cellular organelles and cytoplasm of one cell into two  Cytokinesis · In animal cells, a 'cleavage furrow' forms and separates the daughter cells · In plants, a 'cell plate' forms

A key question in cytokinesis is how the division site is properly positioned While the mitotic apparatus specifies the division site in animal cells, fission Cytokinesis in plant cells involves the formation and insertion of a new cell wall that separates daughter nuclei after mitosis The deposition of the new
