Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these statements is true about plant and animal cells during the process of cell division?
A
Both animal and plant cells develop a cell plate.
B
Both animal and plant cells develop a cleavage furrow.
C
Plant cells develop a cell plate while animal cells develop a cleavage furrow.
D
Animal cells develop a cell plate while plant cells develop a cleavage furrow.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -plant cells produce cell plate and animal cells form a cleavage fuITow.

Detailed explanation-2: -which of these statements is true about plant and animal cells during the process of cell division. AI Recommended Answer: Plant and animal cells undergo a process called mitosis in which they divide into two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -A plant cell contains a cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, plastid, central vacuole, Golgi apparatus, ribosome, mitochondria, lysosome, etc. An animal cell does not have a cell wall and plastids. Thus, the correct answer is option C. i.e Animal cell lacks a cell wall.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cleavage furrows are primarily found in animal cells and some algal cells. Plant cells, which have stiff, inflexible cell walls that cannot be easily bent or “pinched, ” use a cell plate instead.

Detailed explanation-5: -In plant cells, a cleavage furrow is not possible because of the rigid cell walls surrounding the plasma membrane. A new cell wall must form between the daughter cells.
