Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Regarding mitosis and cytokinesis, one difference between plants and animals is that in plants
A
a cell plate begins to form at telophase, whereas in animals a cleavage furrow is initiated at that stage.
B
chromosomes become attached to the spindle at prophase, whereas in animals chromosomes do not become attached until anaphase.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -After the cell plate is laid down, primary walls are formed on either side of the cell plate. Whereas in animal cells, a cleavage furrow appears at the beginning of telophase, which becomes progressively deeper as the spindle breaks down. Eventually the ingrowing constrictions join and separate two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The key difference between plant and animal cytokinesis is that in plant cells, cytokinesis occurs through the formation of a cell plate while in animal cells cytokinesis occurs through the formation of a cleavage furrow.
