The difference between cytokinesis in animal and plant cells is that a cleavage furrow forms in animal cells and the new cells pinch apart.
Cytokinesis is the division of cytoplasm at the end of mitosis leading to the production of 2 independent daughter cells from a single cell.
Animal cells lack a cell wall. Thus, the cell membrane bends inward to form a cleavage furrow that eventually leads to the separation of the new cells.
The presence of a cell wall in plant cells means that a cleavage furrow cannot be formed like animal cells. Instead, a new cell wall, otherwise known as the cell plate, just forms to separate the two nuclei at the opposite poles of the mother cell.
