Question

Differentiate between Centrifugal cytokinesis and Centripetal cytokinesis.

Answer 1

Centrifugal cytokinesis	Centripetal cytokinesis
During the partition of the cytoplasm following karyokinesis, when the cell plate formation begins in the centre and proceeds towards outwards, the division is said to be centrifugal.	When the cell membrane starts constricting from the sides and proceeds inwards, till the mother cell is divided into two daughter cells, the division is known as centripetal cytokinesis.
All plant cells follow centrifugal cytokinesis by cell plate formation.	All animal cells follow centripetal cytokinesis through cell furrow formation.
