How does cytokinesis differ in plant and animal cells?

• Cytokinesis only takes place in animal cells.
• Cytokinesis only takes place in plant cells.
• Plant cells form a cell plate, animal cells form a cleavage furrow.
• Animal cells form a cell plate, plant cells form a cleavage furrow.

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

• In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
• In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.
• In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.
• In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.
