Line 10:
Plant cytokinesis differs from animal cytokinesis, partly because of the rigidity of plant cell walls. Instead of plant cells forming a cleavage furrow such as develops between animal daughter cells, a dividing structure known as the [[cell plate]] forms in the cytoplasm and grows into a new, doubled [[cell wall]] between plant daughter cells. It divides the cell into two daughter cells.
Cytokinesis largely resembles the [[Prokaryote|prokaryotic]] process of [[binary fission]], but because of differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structures and functions, the mechanisms differ. For instance, a bacterial cell has a [[Circular chromosome]] (a single chromosome in the form of a closed loop), in contrast to the [[Linear chromosome|linear]], usually multiple, chromosomes of eukaryote. Accordingly, bacteria construct no mitotic spindle in cell division. Also, duplication of prokaryotic DNA takes place during the actual separation of chromosomes; in mitosis, duplication takes place during the [[interphase]] before mitosis begins, though the daughter [[chromatid]]s
