Question

How does mitosis in plant cells differ from that in animal cells?      A. Plant cells lack a cell membrane. B. Plant cells lack spindle fibers. C. Animal cells lack a cell plate. D. Animal cells lack cytokinesis

Answer 1

Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts, while animal cells lack these structures. Plant cells form a cell plate during mitosis, while animal cells do not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plant cells and animal cells have several differences when it comes to mitosis. One major difference is that plant cells have a cell wall, while animal cells do not. This means that during mitosis, plant cells form a cell plate, which eventually becomes a new cell wall, while animal cells do not have this structure.

Another difference is that plant cells have chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis, while animal cells do not. Additionally, plant cells have plasmodesmata, which are channels that allow for communication between neighboring cells, while animal cells lack this structure.

Answer 2

The correct option is C.
Mitosis occur in both plants and animal cells. The difference in mitosis between the plant and animal cells occur during the cytokineses stage. In this stage, the animal cells form cleavages which gives rise to daughter cells. Because of the rigid cell wall that is present in plants they can not form cleavages, instead they form cell plate at the center of the dividing cells; this cell plate separate the newly formed cells.
