Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that cytokinesis is the process of cytoplasmic division that follows the end of mitosis, resulting in two daughter cells.
Recognize that in plant cells, cytokinesis is different from animal cells due to the presence of a rigid cell wall.
Identify that plant cells form a cell plate during cytokinesis, which eventually develops into a new cell wall separating the two daughter cells.
Learn that Golgi-derived vesicles are responsible for transporting materials necessary to form the cell plate. These vesicles coalesce at the center of the cell to initiate the formation of the cell plate.
Conclude that Golgi-derived vesicles are primarily responsible for cytokinesis in plant cells by providing the building blocks for the new cell wall.
