The cleavage furrow is a crucial structure that forms during cytokinesis, the final stage of cell division. As sister chromatids separate during anaphase, the cell elongates and the cleavage furrow begins to develop within the plasma membrane of the dividing cell. This process ultimately leads to the formation of haploid daughter cells, each carrying an identical set of chromosomes. Understanding the mechanics of cleavage furrow formation is essential for comprehending cellular reproduction and the maintenance of genetic integrity.
