Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytoplasmic division in animal cells involves the formation of a deepening cleavage furrow. This occurs as a contractile ring made of actin and myosin filaments forms just inside the plasma membrane at the equator of the cell, pulling the membrane inward and creating a furrow. The furrow deepens until it reaches the center of the cell and the cytoplasm divides into two daughter cells. The other choices are not involved in cytoplasmic division in animal cells.
