Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis in animal cells occurs by furrowing of the cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-2: -The statement that is FALSE is that during cytokinesis cytoplasm is separated between the two daughter cells. This is false because during cytokinesis the cytoplasm splits into two daughter cells that are equal therefore ensuring genetic segregation.
Detailed explanation-3: -The given statement is false. The division of the cell involves the division of the genetic material as well as the cytoplasm. The latter takes place through the process of cytokinesis. The cell plate is a structure that is formed at the location of the metaphase plate during telophase.
Detailed explanation-4: -Animal cells do not contain a cell wall and therefore do not form a cell plate during cell division. A contractile ring forms around the plasma membrane during cytokinesis in animal cells and tightens, eventually forming a fissure called a cleavage furrow. Plant cells, on the other hand, will form the cell plate.
