Cytokinesis

Cytokinesis

What is Cytokinesis

• This Is the last stage of the cell cycle it
  completes the process of cell division.
• During Cytokinesis the cytoplasm divides.
• Organelles are distributed into each of the new
  cells.

More info

• When cytokinesis is complete two new cells
  (daughter cells) have formed.
• At the end of cytokinesis each cell enters
  interphase and the cell cycle begins.

Cytokinesis in animal cells

• During cytokinesis in animal cells the cell
  membrane squeezes together around the middle of
  the cell.
• The cytoplasm forms into two cells.
• Each daughter cell gets about 1/2 of the
  organelles.

5
Cytokinesis in plant cells

• Because the plant cell has a cell wall unlike the
  animal cell, it cant squeeze together like the
  cell membrane can.
• Instead a structure called the cell plate forms
  across the middle of the cell and the cell
  gradually splits into two cells.
• Then two new cell wall forms

Cytokinesis in a plant cell

• Can you spot the Cell plate??

• The arrows point out the cell membrane seperating
