Yes, plants also undergo mitosis and meiosis similar to animal cells. Mitosis is required for growth, asexual reproduction and regeneration. Daughter cells produced by mitosis are identical to the parent cell. Meiosis is also known as reduction division, chromosome number is halved in the daughter cells. Meiosis occurs at the time of gamete formation during sexual reproduction in most plants and animals.
