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.

What stage in mitosis of plant cells is different from animal cells?

Plant cells have an additional stage in mitosis called preprophase, during which the cell begins to prepare for division by breaking down the nuclear envelope and forming a preprophase band. This stage is not present in animal cells.


What percentage of the time are the plant and animal cells not undergoing mitosis?

The majority of the time, plant and animal cells are not undergoing mitosis. During this time, they are in a phase called interphase where they grow, carry out their normal functions, and replicate their DNA in preparation for cell division. Mitosis itself is a relatively short process compared to the time spent in interphase.


What is significantly different between plants and animal cell mitosis a. metaphase b. anaphase c. cytokinesis d. prophase?

c. Cytokinesis is significantly different between plant and animal cell mitosis. In plant cells, a cell plate forms during cytokinesis to separate the daughter cells, while in animal cells, a cleavage furrow forms to divide the cytoplasm.


How can you tell whether cells in mitosis are animals cells or plant cells?

In Plant cell the spindle formation is without astral rays where as in animal cells astral rays are visible on both sides of the spindle. Also cytokinesis in plant cell takes place mostly by cell plate formation whereas in animal cells it is furrowing.


What does not distinguish mitosis in plant cells from mitosis in animal cells?

A plant cell, during mitosis, has no centriole, so in the second phase [metaphase], spindle fibers do not connect to the [missing] centriole that move in opposite directions in animal cell mitosis. Also, instead of having a cleavage, like in animal cell mitosis, a cell plate forms. Animal cells do not have centrioles so the spindle fibers do not connect to centrioles and move to opposite poles, spindle fibers are instead formed by microtubules. Additionally, in the telophase in plant cells, the cytoplasm does not narrow or compress, a cell plate is instead formed in the centre of the cell and this divides it into two daughter cells.

Campare plant mitosis from animal mitosis?

They are basically the same, except in animal mitosis, the cell goes through cytokinesis, which means the cytoplasm splits in two. In plant cells the cell plate forms in between the newly separated nuclei, which turns into a cell wall of the cell.

How are animal cells different from plant cells-?

Animal cells are different from plant cells in that the cell wall of animal cells is not made up of cellulose.


How can YOU tell whether cells in mitosis are animal or plant cells?

During telophase of mitosis, a cell plate is formed as the plant cell begins its division. In animal cells, the cell pinches in the center to form two cells; no cell plate is laid down.


Are genes present in plant cells?

Yes because plant cells go through Mitosis and Meiosis just like animal cells
