Cytokinesis in plants occurs as ________ and in animals as ________.
A) actin fibers pull the membrane inward until the two sides touch; the Golgi apparatus produces membrane-bound vesicles filled with materials to make the cell wall
B) the Golgi apparatus produces membrane-bound vesicles filled with materials to make the cell wall; actin fibers pull the membrane inward until the two sides touch
C) the centrosome produces membrane-bound vesicles filled with materials to make the cell wall; the Golgi apparatus produces actin fibers to pull the membrane inward until the two sides touch
D) actin fibers interact to make the cell wall; the cleavage furrow pulls the membrane inward until the two sides touch
E) the Golgi apparatus produces a cleavage furrow; actin fibers pull the membrane inward until the two sides touch

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In plants, cytokinesis occurs through the formation of a cell plate, which is facilitated by the Golgi apparatus producing membrane-bound vesicles that coalesce at the center of the cell. These vesicles contain materials necessary for building the new cell wall that will separate the two daughter cells. In animals, cytokinesis is achieved through the constriction of the cell membrane by a contractile ring composed of actin fibers. This ring pulls the membrane inward until the two sides touch, effectively dividing the cell into two.
