## Abstract Cytokinesis ensures proper partitioning of the nucleocytoplasmic contents into two daughter cells. It has generally been thought that cytokinesis is accomplished differently in animals and plants because of the differences in the preparatory phases, into the centrosomal or acentrosomal
In cultures of the epithelial cell lines, PtK2 and LLC-PK, some cells assume unusually large flattened morphologies and, during cell division, produce unusual cleavage furrows. We have microinjected some of these large cells with fluorescent actin and myosin probes to determine how the cell's shape
