Study Notes
Cell Division: Telophase and Cytokinesis
- Non-kinetochore microtubules from opposite poles overlap, pushing against each other, lengthening the cell.
- In telophase, genetically identical daughter nuclei form at opposite cell ends.
- Cytokinesis starts during anaphase or telophase. The spindle eventually breaks down.
- In animal cells, cytokinesis involves cleavage, forming a cleavage furrow.
- Plant cells form a cell plate during cytokinesis.
