Multiple Choice
Which of the following best describes the main difference between cytokinesis in animal cells and plant cells?
Animal cells form a cleavage furrow, while plant cells form a cell plate through vesicle fusion.
Animal cells form a cell plate, while plant cells form a cleavage furrow.

Multiple Select
Which of the following statements about the outcomes of cytokinesis are correct?
Most cells divide their cytoplasm equally, resulting in two similar daughter cells.
Some cells undergo unequal cytokinesis, with one cell retaining most organelles.
Unequal cytokinesis in humans ensures the ovum has enough resources for development.
In yeast, daughter cells develop as an outgrowth called budding.
