Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple cell division of plants and animals is not an identical process. An animal cell has centrioles, which are protein microtubules. The division of such a cell has an aster, that is, the spindle fibers around the chromosomes are arranged like a star. Cytokinesis is centripetal, so it happens from the outside in, like a choke. A plant cell does not have centrioles. Its division has no aster (it is anastral). The cytokinesis is centrifugal, that is, it occurs from the inside out.
