  • Animal Cell Cytokinesis: Cleavage Furrow Formation Explained
    Cytokinesis in animal cells is called cleavage furrow formation.

    Here's why:

    * Cleavage Furrow: This is the indentation that appears on the cell surface during cytokinesis.

    * Formation: The furrow is formed by a contractile ring made of microfilaments (actin and myosin).

    * Process: The ring contracts, pulling the plasma membrane inward and eventually pinching the cell in two.
