Human fetal cells show formation of a contractile ring just prior to cytoplasmic division.
In plant cells, a cell plate is formed during cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis) to separate the two daughter cells. This process differs from animal cells where a cleavage furrow forms during cytokinesis to physically pinch the cell in two.
Division occurs in the M phase of the cell cycle, which includes mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division).
The division of cytoplasm is referred to as cytokenesis.
