Cytokinesis IB DP Biology HL 2025 Notes

cytokinesis  1 Animal cell cytokinesis Contractile ring positioning; The central spindle; Timing cytokinesis · 2 Plant cell cytokinesis · 3 Bacterial cell Abstract Cytokinesis creates two daughter cells endowed with a complete set of chromosomes and cytoplasmic organelles

Animal cells undergo cytokinesis through the process of cleavage, forming a cleavage furrow which pinches the cell into two In contrast, plant cells form a Cytokinesis is the last step of cell division that partitions the cellular organelles and cytoplasm of one cell into two

Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm splits in two and the cell divides, as shown below In animal cells, the During cytokinesis in animal cells, a ring of actin filaments forms at the metaphase plate The ring contracts, forming a cleavage furrow, which divides the
