Cell Cycle, Mitosis and Meiosis

The main difference(s) between mitosis in animals versus plant cells is/are

• animal cells use centrioles

• two divisions instead of one in plant cells

• both use cell plate, but animals only have a cleavage furrow

• only plant cells use a cell plate in cytokinesis
