Jul 10, Plants - cell wall forms. Animals - cleavage furrow forms. Explanation: Cytokinesis occurs in mitosis and meiosis for both plant and animal cells.
In plants , this occurs when a cell wall forms in between the daughter cells. Hope this helps :. Cytoplasm is extremely important within each cell. The cell's main support for organelles within the cell's membrane, the cytoplasm also contains many nutrients. A gelatinous substance, the cytoplasm suspends and holds each cell's nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes and many other organelles in place.
It also is home to the cytoskeleton, which creates the cell's shape and controls its movement. In plant cells, cytokinesis simply consists of the cell plate forming at the equator of the old cell that will soon be two. The cell plate--the future cell wall that will separate the two cells--divides the cytoplasm in half.

The main difference between plant cell and animal cell cytokinesis is the formation of new cell wall surrounding the daughter cells.
Plant cells form a cell plate between the two daughter cells. In animal cells, a cleavage furrow is formed between the two daughter cells. In mitotic division, after the completion of the cytokinesis, daughter cells enter into the interphase. In meiotic division, produced gametes are used for the completion of the sexual reproduction after the completion of cytokinesis by fusing with the other type of the gametes in the same species. Plant cells usually consist of a cell wall. Therefore, they form the cell plate at the middle of the parent cell, in order to separate two daughter cells.
Formation of the cell plate is shown in figure 1. Figure 1: Cell Plate Formation. Phragmoplast is microtubule array, supporting and guiding the cell plate formation.
The microtubules which are utilized for the formation of the phragmoplast are the remnants of the spindle. Vesicles containing proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids are trafficked into the mid zone of the phragmoplast by the microtubules since they are required for the formation of the cell plate. The source of these vesicles is the Golgi apparatus. Widened microtubules laterally fuse with each other in order to form a planar sheet which is referred to as the cell plate.
Other cell wall constituents along with cellulose deposit on the cell plate drive it to further maturation. The edges of the cell plate are fused with the existing parental cell membrane, physically separating the two daughter cells. Most of the time, this fusion occurs in an asymmetric manner. But, strands of the endoplasmic reticulum is found passing through the newly formed cell plate, which behaves as the precursors of the plasmodesmata, a type of cell junctions found in plant cells.
Different cell wall components like hemicellulose, pectins, arabinogalactan proteins, which are carried by the secretary vesicles, are deposited on the newly formed cell plate. The most abundant component of the cell wall is cellulose.
