Question

Select all that apply. How does mitosis in animal cells differ from mitosis in higher plant cells? Plant cells maintain chromosomal integrity throughout the process. Plant cells divide by means of a cell plate. Animal cells undergo furrowing. Animal cells produce four daughter cells.

Answer 1

Mitosis occurs in both plants and animals. Only during telophase, in the process of cytokinesis that plant and animal cells differ. Therefore, the statements that apply are: Plant cells divide by means of a cell plate. Animal cells undergo furrowing in mitosis.  

Answer 2

The answers are:
- Plant cells divide by means of a cell plate.
- Animal cells undergo furrowing. 

The main difference between mitosis in animal cells and mitosis in higher plant cells is in cytokinesis. In animal cells, membrane forms around each set of chromosomes on two opposite sides of the cells and cells divide into two identical daughter cells. Animal cells undergo furrowing. 
In plants cells, however, the cell walls prevent complete separation of the cells so cells must divide by means of a cell plate.
