Cytokinesis is the process of cytoplasmic division that follows mitosis, resulting in two daughter cells. In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs through the formation of a cleavage furrow that pinches the cell membrane inwards until the cell is split into two. In plant cells, cytokinesis occurs through the formation of a cell plate that develops at the center of the cell and gradually grows outward to divide the cell into two. The cell plate eventually becomes the new cell wall.
