Its common. In the last 10 million years, there have been 4 or 5 reversals per million years
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.
Hope this helps, if not let me know. Also, do you have multiple choice answers? If this isn't one let me know the options and I'm sure I can help.
Answer:
The glycosidic linkage between glucose molecules in maltose is α-1,4-glycosidic linkage.
Explanation:
As maltose is a reducing sugar, it must possess the linking of its two glucose molecules in such a way that an anomeric carbon is left for the the formation of an aldehyde group. The glucose molecules in maltose are linked in such a way that the first carbon atom of one of the glucose molecules is attached to the fourth carbon of the other glucose molecule. This is known as head to tail fashion and termed as α-1,4-glycosidic linkage.
