Cytokinesis (the splitting of cells after mitosis) differs in detail between different cell types. In simple terms, how does cytokinesis occur in plant cells, animal cells and yeast cells? Why would the process be different in these organisms?

Solutions

Expert Solution

In animal cell cytokinesis occurs by formation of cleavage furrow where as in plant cell cytokinesis occurs by formation of cell plate which later on becomes cell wall. In yeast cytokinesis occurs by fission by the constriction and septum formation.

Process is different in plants and animals because of presence of cell wall. And in yeast some proteins or digestive enzymes are present to cleave but these are absent in plants. So the process of cytokinesis is different in different organisms. Because of some proteins or some structures cytokinesis differ in different organisms.

What is the main difference between telophase and cytokinesis? A. The cell is 2n4x in telophase but each daughter cell becomes 2n2x after cytokinesis B. The cell is haploid in telophase but the daughter cells become diploid after cytokinesis C. Telophase contains no dispersed chromatin or nuclear membranes at any time but both are present throughout cytokinesis D. Since telophase is the last part of mitosis, it isn’t seen until after cytokinesis

During Mitosis is it possible for the daughter cells to become genetically different from the parent cell (ignoring mutations)? If so how?
