Solution

failed
failed

The answer is b) cleavage furrow.

Explanation for each option:

a) Anaphase plate: This term is not typically used in the context of cytokinesis. It refers to the stage during mitosis when chromosomes are aligned at the metaphase plate, not involved in the physical division of the cell.

b) Cleavage furrow: This is the correct answer. In animal cells, cytokinesis involves the formation of a cleavage furrow, which is a contractile ring that pinches the cell membrane to divide the cell into two daughter cells.

c) Cell plate: This is incorrect for animal cells. The cell plate is involved in cytokinesis in plant cells, where it forms to separate the two daughter cells.

d) Beads-on-a-string DNA: This term refers to the structure of chromatin, where DNA is wrapped around histone proteins, resembling beads on a string. It is not related to cytokinesis.

In summary, cytokinesis in animal cells involves the formation of the cleavage furrow.
