Its main purpose is the growth in the body. 3. The whole process completes in one sequence or one phase. Prophase: 4. It completes in a short period, and not divided into subsequent [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Plant Cytokinesis and Animal Cytokinesis. Difference # Plant Cytokinesis: 1. It usually occurs by cell plate method. 2. The spindle usually persists during cytokinesis. 3. Central part of spindle grows in size and forms an interdigited complex called phragmoplast. 4. Vesicles derived from Golgi apparatus reach the equator of the [...]

Karyokinesis: Karyokinesis (Gk. karyon- nucleus, kinesis- movement) is also called indirect nuclear division because the nucleus passes through a complicated sequence of events before forming two daughter nuclei. Though the process is continuous one without any pauses, it has been [...]
