Plant cells complete cytokinesis differently from animal cells because they build a:
AA new cell plate
BA cleavage furrow
CA contractile ring
DA second envelope
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A new cell plate
1. A rigid cell wall makes it impossible to constrict a plant cell from the outside.
2. The new boundary must therefore be built from the inside out.
3. In animal cells daughter cells are separated by an actin ring, whereas plant cells are separated by the cell plate.
4. That cell plate will grow into a new cell wall.
