[[File:Binucleated cell overlay.tiff|thumb|[[Cytokinesis|Cell division.]] All cells can be considered motile for having the ability to divide into two new daughter cells.<ref>{{cite book |last=Clegg |faaawaaaaaaaaeaa4aq3aawairst=Chris |title=Edexcel biology for AS |date=2008 |publisher=Hodder Murray |location=London |isbn=978-0-340-96623-5 |page=111 |edition= 6th |chapter=3.2 Cells make organisms |quote=Division of the cytoplasm, known as cytokinesis, follows telophase. During division, cell organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts '''become distributed''' evenly between the cells. In animal cells, division is by '''in-tucking''' of the plasma membrane at the equator of the spindle, ''''pinching'''' the cytoplasm in half (Figure 3.15). In plant cells, the Golgi apparatus forms vesicles of new cell wall materials which '''collect along the line of the equator''' of the spindle, known as the cell plate. Here, the '''vesicles coalesce''' forming the new plasma membranes and cell walls between the two cells (Figure 3.17).}}</ref>]]
