Cytokinesis Below are several characteristics of cytokinesis. Determine if each occurs in plant cells or in animal cells. Cytokinesis in Plants: - Forms a contractile ring that pinches off the two cells. - Forms a cell plate. - New cells are strengthened by cellulose fibrils. - Forms a cleavage furrow. Cytokinesis in Animals: - Plasma membrane and cell armos divide the two daughter cells. - Division aided by actin filaments.

Step 1
Forms contractile ring that pinches off the two cells: This occurs in **animal cells** because they use a contractile ring made of actin and myosin to pinch the cell into two daughter cells. Show more…

During plant cell cytokinesis, a network of parallel microtubules condenses around the select answer Cleavage Furrow Future plane of division Contractile ring . This becomes a site of expansion of the select answer Cleavage Furrow Cell plate Contractile ring , which fuses with the plasma membrane and partitions the cytoplasm into two cells.
