| Cell division induced by specific hormone called cytokinin.
|
| In Telophase, animal cells have a contractile ring made of myosin which contracts to form the two daughter cells.
| Plants have a pre-prophase band that consists of actin and microtubules; in prometaphase this band disappears, and is replaced by a phragmoplast during cytokinesis, which is made of actin, myosin and microtubules that forms the cell wall. |
| Migration of centrioles | No migration of centrioles |
| Furrowing pinching of cytoplasm in cytokinesis. A mid body may form during cytokinesis.
| Cell cytokinesis begins with the formation of a cell plate in the center of cell. No furrowing of the cytoplasm in cytokinesis. No formation of mid body. |
| No cell plate to form in the middle of the cell. | Cell plate becomes a new cell wall. Cell plate of cellulose. |
| Cytokinesis proceeds from the outside inward by the cell membrane pinching in at the center of the cell to make two daughters. | Cell plate grows outward and connects to the existing cell wall to divide the cell into two daughters. |
| Furrow formed between the two daughter cells. | Solid, middle lamella develops between the two daughter cells for permanent adhesion. |
