3. The division of the cytoplasm takes place through the furrow method.
4. Division occurs throughout the body of animals.
Plant Cell Division:

Kritika's biology teacher explained the different phases of plant growth in her class. She taught that growth of plants takes place in three successive steps or phases from germination to maturation phase. Kritika reached home and asked her elder sister, a biology post-graduate student to clarify the phases in detail. Kritika's sister told her that she will explain the complete process with the help of experimentation. She took few seeds of pea and germinated them on a circular filter paper, soaked with water in a petri-dish. After two days of growth, she picked up a couple of seedlings with straight radicle and marked it from tip to base with the help of a waterproof ink and again placed the seedlings on moist filter paper to allow them to grow.
