How does mitosis in plant cells differ from mitosis in animal cells?
A
animal cells form a cell plate
B
plant cells form a cell plate
C
plant cells go through the process in reverse
D
plant cells go through two rounds of mitosis while animal cells just do one
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How is plant mitosis different from animal mitosis? 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: -Mitosis is different in plant and animal cells by the way cytokinesis takes place in them. In animals, cytokinesis takes place through the formation of a furrow in the plasma membrane whereas, in the case of plants, cytokinesis takes place through the formation of a cell wall.

Detailed explanation-3: -How does mitosis accommodate a rigid, inflexible, cell wall? In plant cells, centrioles are not present, but animal cells have them. In plant cells a cell plate is formed to eventually form a new cell shall while in animals cells, the cells have a cleavage furrow.

Detailed explanation-4: -During telophase, there is the formation of the cell plate in case of plant cells which allows the separation of the two daughter cells. In the case of animal cells, there is pinching of the cell membrane to separate the cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -The key difference between plant and animal cell division is that plant cells form the cell plate in between the two daughter cells in mitosis, whereas the cell membrane forms the cleavage furrow in between the two daughter cells in animal cells.
