How many of the given statements regarding cytokinesis are true?
I: In an animal cell, this is achieved by the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane.
II: The furrow gradually deepens and ultimately joins in the centre dividing the cell cytoplasm into two.
III: In plant cells, wall formation starts in the centre of the cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls.
IV: The formation of the new cell wall begins with the formation of a simple precursor, called the cell-plate that represents the middle lamella between the walls of two adjacent cells.
V: At the time of cytoplasmic division, organelles like mitochondria and plastids get distributed between the two daughter cells.

In an animal cell, cytokinesis is achieved by:
1. the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane which gradually deepens and ultimately joins in the centre dividing the cell cytoplasm into two.
2. the appearance of the cell-plate and the formation starts in the centre of the cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls.
3. the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane which starts in the centre of the cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls.
4. the appearance of the cell-plate and the formation starts in the periphery of the cell and grows inward to meet the existing central walls.
