Cytokinesis is the last process in the eukaryotic cell division and is the process that divides one cell into two daughter cells. Occurs in the end of mitosis after telophase. It signals the start of a new cellular generation. The cytoplasm needs to be separate to create the to new cells. Different phases can be seen in the cytokinesis depending on if it is an animal cell or an plant cell.
It occurs concurrently with two types of nuclear division called mitosis and meiosis, which occur in animal cells .In general, the main objective of cytokinesis is common in all organisms: …show more content…
What makes this happen is the contractile ring which is created in under the plasma membrane and when it contracts, it divides the cell into 2. The first thing that happens is the cleavage furrow (for animal cells) or cell plate (for plant cells).
It starts in anaphase. Anaphase is when the chromosomes are separated into two individual chromosomes that are exactly and are separated to two different sides of the cell. Then it ends in telophase where the chromosomes reach the opposite poles and uncoil. This is when the cell plate and cleavage furrow starts to appear.
Cytokinesis has to happen at the right time and place so the chromosomes are not separate and the cell has the full set. A prokaryote begins by replicating its nucleiod (DNA) in the cell. Then, the two nucleiods travel to the ends of the cell where there is cytokinesis. It is here when the cytokinesis start to work by the process of dividing the two nucleiods by separate each to construct their own cell walls and cell membranes. When each nucleiods finish their cell walls, they separate each …show more content…
The animal cells experience a division of their cytoplasm by a process of strangulation and that is accentuated after the telophase. It begins before the prophase that appears the preprophase ring that is formed by microtubules and is situated in the middle of the mitotic spindle (that is where the chromosomes are divided in two). In that place is the myosin and actin. The cell is strangled in half and the two daughter cells are achieved. the remains of the ring stay in the daughter cells for the formation of the cytoskeleton.
We need to know how cytokinesis occurs. Basically, in the animal cell cytokinesis happens through the cleavage furrow, which is a string that separates two daughter cells. The cleavage furrow forms at the same time that the cell is dividing. It encloses the cell and it makes it tight because the cell can not open up so the fluids inside of it do not leave it.
This can not happen with plant cells because they have a cell wall so instead they develop a cell plate during the process of telophase formed by vesicles extracted from the golgi apparatus. This blends in with the plasma membrane which produces two different daughter cells with a cell wall in the
