How does mitosis differ in plant and animal cells?

Answer:

1. No centrioles plant cell where as present in animal

2. In cytokinesis, the final step of mitosis, a cell's cytoplasm separates in half with each half containing one nucleus. An animal cell membrane pinches in, creating a cleavage furrow until the mother cell is pinched in half. In plant cells, a new cell wall is constructed at what was the midline of the mother cell

3. In plant cell during telophase, phragmoplast (acting myosin microtubules) forms in centre of cell where as in animal cell contractile ring forms approximately midway between the 2 nuclei of the dividing cell

4. Plant cell has a cell wall & animal cell lacks it

5. In plant cell nuclear and cell division found in special regions called meristems where as in animal cell divides everywhere, all the time
