One difference between cell division in plant cells and in animal cells is that plant cells have
A
centrioles
B
centromeres
C
a cell plate
D
chromatin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most important difference between plant and animal mitosis is the cytokinesis. In plants, a cell plate is formed, whereas in animals a cleavage is formed.

Detailed explanation-2: -One important difference between plant and animal cells is that plant cells do not have centrosomes at the poles to which the microtubules attach as occurs in animal cells (Fig. 2). The chromatids (duplicated, condensed chromosomes) attach to the spindles via the kinetochore (centromer).

Detailed explanation-3: -Posted June 17, 2022. Cytokinesis is the process by which the cytoplasm divides into two identical daughter cells. The main difference between cytokinesis in plant and animal cells is the manner in which the cytoplasm gets divided. Plant cells have a cell wall covering the cell membrane.
