  • Cytokinesis in Plant Cells: Cell Plate Formation Explained
    Plant cells, unlike animal cells, form a cell plate during cytokinesis.

    Here's why:

    * Cell walls: Plant cells have rigid cell walls that prevent the cell membrane from constricting and pinching off like in animal cells.

    * Cell plate formation: Instead, vesicles from the Golgi apparatus fuse at the center of the parent cell, forming a structure called the cell plate. The cell plate grows outwards until it reaches the existing cell walls, eventually dividing the cell into two daughter cells.

    So the answer to your question is cell plate.
