Compare mitosis and cytokinesis in plant and animal cells?

Plants have Meristems where division regularly takes place,
animals do not have particular regions to which mitosis and
cytokinesis are bounded. Also, a distinction between cell division
in plants and animals occurs during cytoplasmic division. Cells
plates are not in animal cells, where cytokinesis takes place.

How is cytokenesis in plant cells similar to cytokenesis in animal cells?

Do you mean cytokinesis? Cytokinesis is the division of
cytoplasm after the karyokinesis during cell division. Animal
cytokinesis takes place by cell furrow formation while in plant
cell by cell plate formation. Cell furrows grows centripetally and
cell plate centrifugally to divide the cell into two daughter
cells. Hence, the cytokinesis are different in them.
