How is cytokinesis achieved in an animal cell?
Options
- ABy the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane
- BBy the inextensibility of cell wall
- CBy the segregation of duplicated chromosomes
- DBy the separation of cytoplasm
Correct answer
A. By the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane
Step-by-step solution
In an animal cell, cytokinesis is achieved by the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane. The furrow gradually deepens and ultimately joins in the center, dividing the cell cytoplasm into two. In an animal cell, this is achieved by the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane. The furrow gradually deepens and ultimately joins in the centre dividing the cell cytoplasm into two. Plant cells however, are enclosed by a relatively inextensible cell wall, thererfore they undergo cytokinesis by a different mec
