Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Plant and animal cells divide differently. What organelle in a plant is responsible for this?
A
Cell wall
B
Cytoplasm
C
Cell membrane
D
Chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The organelle that plays crucial role in plant cell division is the microtubule. Fungi and plant cells use different microtubule-organizing centers to organize their microtubules.

Detailed explanation-2: -A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage of water and nutrients. It also helps maintain the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles, which also are used for storage of water and nutrients.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final Answer: The cell organelle responsible for cell division is the centriole.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Centrioles. Centrioles are organelles involved in cell division. The function of centrioles is to help organize the chromosomes before cell division occurs so that each daughter cell has the correct number of chromosomes after the cell divides. Centrioles are found only in animal cells and are located near the nucleus.
