Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytokinesis always follows mitosis, which is the division of the nucleus. Choice A is incorrect because a cell plate forms in plant cells, not animal cells. Choice B is incorrect because furrowing of the membrane is how cytokinesis occurs in animal cells, not plant cells. Choice D is partly true, as actin and myosin play a role in cytokinesis in animal cells, but not in plant cells.
