  • Cleavage Furrow Cell Division: Organisms & Mechanisms
    The organisms that divide by cleavage furrow are eukaryotic cells.

    Specifically, this method of cell division is seen in:

    * Animal cells: Cleavage furrow formation is the hallmark of cytokinesis in animals.

    * Some protists: Certain single-celled eukaryotic organisms also use cleavage furrow during cell division.

    Why not other organisms?

    * Bacteria: Bacteria divide by binary fission, a process where the cell wall grows inwards to separate the two daughter cells.

    * Plants: Plants utilize a cell plate formation, where vesicles from the Golgi apparatus fuse at the center of the cell, creating a new cell wall.

    Let me know if you would like more details about the process of cleavage furrow formation!
