Best Answer

Cleavage Furrow is a groove in the plasma membrane between daughter nuclei

"The cleavage furrow is an actin rich "purse sting" that draws tight to separate daughter cells to complete cytokinesis in cell division."

After Chromosome Segregation is complete, a microtubule based ring is formed, equidistant from both MTOCs [microtubule organizing centers] ensuring equal sized daughter Cells, which then develops into a Cell dividing [via circumference] furrow that ends up cleaving the parent Cell into two daughter Cells.

A cleavage furrow is an indentation of the surface of the cell that begins the cleavage. It is where animal cells undergo cytokinesis.

The cleavage furrow happens during mitosis. This is when the cell begins to divide into two new cells. The cleavage furrow is the pinching off of the cells.

Cleavage furrow is an indentation of the membrane between the two daughter nuclei, which forms just as anaphase draws to a close.
