The cell plate does not begin to form until the later stages of mitosis, so yes, a plant cell forms a cell plate (assuming cytokinesis occurs, examples of exceptional cases are described below). In fact, cell plate formation is unique to plants amongst eukaryotes as animal and fungal cells lack cellulose based cell walls and instead form what are called cleavage furrows prior cytokinesis.

Mitosis in strict sense is the nuclear division having same number of chromosomes in daughter nuclei. The telophase may or may not be followed by cytokinesis (the division of cytoplasm). The cell plate formation takes place during cytokinesis in plants in general but there are specific circumstances where mitotic nuclear division is not followed by cytokinesis as in the case of formation of free nuclear endosperm during embryogenesis in a number of angiospermic plants.

Are genes present in plant cells?

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


Mitosis in animal cells is different from mitosis in plant cells because?

plant cells use a cell plate to separate 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.


Do plant cells or animal cells reproduce?

Plant and animal cells reproduce through Mitosis, where one cell splits into two. Obviously, cells reproduce. If they did not, complex life would not exist on Earth, silly!


What is the process that plant and animal cells grow bigger by adding cells?

Mitosis


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 does not occur in plants cell mitosis but does occur in animal cell mitosis?

Astral rays does occur in animal cells not in plant cell


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.


The process and stages of mitosis are completely different in plant and animal cells?

False


Is the process and stages of mitosis completely different in plant and animal cells?

false


Do both animal and plant cells have mitosis?

yep!of course both will have mitosis..u can clearly view mitosis in root tip of plants


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.
