I have to write 2-4 sentences on these questions. Can I please get some help?
'Both animal and plant cells undergo cytokinesis after mitosis ends. a) How is the process and its outcome same for both animal and plant cells? b)How is the process and its outcome different for both animal and plant cells?'
Thanks

What kind of help do you want?
I posted two websites that explain these processes.
I just need help understanding this stuff; I'm having a lot of trouble with it.

Here's a clue about one way cytokinesis differs between animals and plants: cleavage furrow.
Of course, I'd be happy to help!
a) The process of cytokinesis in both animal and plant cells is similar in that it involves the division of the cytoplasm and the formation of two daughter cells. The outcome is also the same, as both animal and plant cells result in the formation of two separate cells at the end of cytokinesis.
b) However, there are some differences in the process and outcome between animal and plant cells. Animal cells undergo cytokinesis by forming a cleavage furrow, which gradually deepens and eventually splits the cytoplasm into two daughter cells. On the other hand, plant cells form a cell plate during cytokinesis, which eventually develops into a new cell wall dividing the cytoplasm. Additionally, due to the presence of a cell wall, plant cells do not completely separate during cytokinesis and instead, remain connected by plasmodesmata, forming a structure called a cell plate.
