Differences Between Plant Mitosis and Animal Mitosis

Introduction

Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus. The process of mitosis generates new cells that are genetically identical to each other. Mitosis helps organisms grow in size and repair damaged tissue.

Evaluation

According to the information in the article entitle “Animal Mitosis vs Plant Mitosis”, use the Venn diagram below to compare and contrast mitosis in plants and animals.

Conclusion

The main difference between animal cell mitosis and plant cell mitosis is that in animal cell undergoes cell furrowing while plant cell do not because of the rigid cell wall. The major difference is during the last phase of mitosis , that is telophase. And thus, cytokinesis occurs differently in both the cells.
