Question

Give in brief the cytokinesis process in plant cells.

Answer

In plant cells, cytokinesis is the process of dividing the cytoplasm and organelles between the two daughter cells following mitosis. Plant cells have a cell wall that must be divided during cytokinesis, so they use a specialized process known as cell plate formation. During cell plate formation, vesicles containing cell wall materials and other components fuse together to form a disc-like structure called the cell plate, which grows outward and eventually fuses with the cell wall at the periphery of the cell to form two new cell walls.
