Plants and animals both undergo the cell cycle, mitosis, and meiosis. Describe the difference in the last phase of mitosis (Telophase) for both two cell types to highlight the differences in the final phase. In your answer, describe the cells through completion of cytokinesis and the formation of two new daughter cells for both. Hint: Be sure to include the contractile ring/ cleavage and phragmoplast when appropriate.
ANIMAL CELLS: cytokinesis contracts, pinches the cells, made of protein called actin and the crease pinch is cleavage furrow
PLANT CELLS: can't be divided since cell wall is stiff, thus a plate structure is formed in between; so new daughter cells are created by splitting due to the wall.
thus, as cytokinesis is complete, we get two new daughter cells,
which is like the mother cell, each with a set of chromosomes.
