Their main difference is how they form the daughter cells during cytokinesis. During that stage, animal cells form furrow or cleavage that gives way to formation of daughter cells. Due to the existence of the rigid cell wall, plant cells don't form furrows. ... Plant and animal cells both undergo mitotic cell divisions.

Answer:

The correct answer is they show difference during cytokinesis phase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell which produces two daughter cells through karyokinesis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (cell division).

Mitosis is involved in the production of somatic cells in both plants and cells but these show differences in their division during their cytokinesis phase as cytokinesis in animal cells takes place through a furrow or cleavage which is not formed in the plant cells due to the rigid cell wall but takes place through the formation of a cell plate at the equator.

Thus, show difference during cytokinesis phase is the correct answer.
