Question
Define cytokinesis. How is it accomplished in animal cells?
✓

Answer

Cytokinesis is the process by which the cytoplasm of a cell divides; it corresponds to the separation of the two daughter nuclei (formed by karyokinesis) into two daughter cells.
  • In animal cells, a furrow appears in the cell membrane during late anaphase or early telophase.
  • The furrow deepens and when it joins in the centre, the cytoplasm (cell) is divided into two compartments; each compartment with a daughter nucleus, is known as a daughter cell.
