BASIS OF COMPARISON	CYTOKINESIS IN PLANTS	CYTOKINESIS IN ANIMALS
Description	The process of division of the cytoplasm in the plant cell is what is referred to as Cytokinesis in the plant cell.	The process of division of cytoplasm in an animal cell is what is referred to as Cytokinesis in animal cell.
How It Begins	It starts with the formation of cell plate during telophase.	It starts as a constriction in the cell membrane during late anaphase or early telophase.
Cell Plate Formation	Vesicles fuse to form cell plate.	A cell plate is not formed.
Spindle Apparatus	The middle part of the spindle remains active during Cytokinesis in a plant cell. It forms a complex referred to as phragmoplast.	During Cytokinesis in an animal cell, spindles degenerate.
Process Of Cytokinesis	In plant Cytokinesis, cell plate formation takes place to divide cytoplasm into two daughter cells.	Cytokinesis in the animal cell takes place through cleavage.
Division	In plant cell Cytokinesis, the cell plate develops from the center of the cell towards the lateral walls. Therefore, it is described as centrifugal.	In animal cell Cytokinesis, the furrow starts to deepen from the lateral /periphery sides of the cell towards the center. Therefore, it is known as centripetal.
Row Of Vesicles	A row of vesicles is formed in the center of the cell during plant cell Cytokinesis.	There is no row of vesicles that form during animal cell Cytokinesis.
Microfilaments	Microfilaments play a little role in plant cell Cytokinesis.	In animal cell Cytokinesis, microfilaments are very actively involved.
Mid Body	A mid body is absent in plant cell Cytokinesis.	A mid body of dense fibrous and vesicular material is formed in the middle.
New Cell Membrane	The new cell membrane is derived from vesicles of Golgi apparatus.	The new cell membrane is usually derived from endoplasmic reticulum.
