Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Animal cells undergo a process called cytokinesis, in which the cytoplasm and organelles divide and the cell membrane pinches inward to eventually form two daughter cells. The other options (budding, contracting, and cell plate formation) are methods of division seen in other types of cells, such as yeast, muscle, and plant cells, respectively. Therefore, the best choice for animal cells is C) pinching.
