In the context of cytokinesis, how does mitosis-related cell division differ between typical animal and plant cells?

• A. Animal cells complete cytokinesis by separating daughter nuclei without cytoplasmic division, whereas plant cells complete cytokinesis by rupturing the plasma membrane.
• B. Animal cells form a cell plate during cytokinesis, whereas plant cells divide by a cleavage furrow driven by an actin-myosin contractile ring.
• C. Animal cells and plant cells both rely primarily on the same cleavage furrow mechanism because both lack a rigid extracellular structure during cytokinesis.
• D. Animal cells usually complete cytokinesis by forming a contractile ring that creates a cleavage furrow, whereas plant cells build a cell plate that becomes the new cell wall between daughter cells.
