Cytokinesis in animal cells occurs by
A.a cleavage furrow pinching the cell in two
B.a cell plate forming outward
C.dissolving the nucleus
D.budding from the cell wall
Explanation
Core Concept
In many animal cells, cytokinesis occurs when the plasma membrane pinches inward to form a cleavage furrow and divide the cytoplasm. Plant cells instead form a cell plate. The visible structural difference between these mechanisms is the important AP-level distinction.
Correct Answer
Aa cleavage furrow pinching the cell in two
