The Cell is Signaled, via growth factors, as to when it is big enough and must Divide.

The cytoplasm of the Cell divides equally into two parts as does the nucleus and together they create two daughter Cells.

Cytoplasm divides during the process of cell division, specifically during cytokinesis. In animal cells, this occurs after the nucleus has divided in mitosis, while in plant cells, a cell plate forms in the middle of the cell and eventually divides it into two daughter cells.

The Cell divides when it gets the OK signal from the Growth Sensing Proteins.Cytokinesis Divides the CytoplasmIn animal Cells, cytokinesis occurs by a process known as cleavage;
  • First, a cleavage furrow appears
    • cleavage furrow = shallow groove near the location of the old metaphase plate
  • A contractile ring of actin microfilaments in association with myosin, another protein;
  • Actin and myosin are also involved in muscle contraction and other movement functions;
  • The contraction of a the dividing Cell's ring of microfilaments is like the pulling of drawstrings and -
    • The Cell is pinched in two
  • Cytokinesis in plant Cells is different because plant Cells have Cell walls.
  • During telophase, vesicles from the Golgi apparatus move along microtubules to the middle of the Cell (where the Cell plate was) and coalesce, producing the cell plate -
    • Cell-wall construction materials are carried in the vesicles and are continually deposited until a complete cell wall forms between the two daughter Cells.

At the end of mitosis, during telophase. The process is called cytokinesis.
