Question
compare the seperation of an animal daughter cell with that of a plant.

Answer
Dividing cells separate during late telophase.
In animal cells there is an invagination with the development of a new cell membrane.
In animal cells there cannot be an invagination becaus eon the cell wall.  In telophase the golgi forms packets of cellulose across the equator of the cell and new cell wall is formed.  The new cell membrane is also formed within the cell wall.
In eukaryotes the cells do not separate when daughter cells form
