Solution

During mitosis in animal cells, spindle fibers are formed from centrioles.
During mitosis in plant cells, spindle fibers are formed from microtubules which are organized by the cell wall.
Mitosis in Animal cell Mitosis in Plant cell
In animal cells, a cleavage furrow appears at the beginning of telophase, which becomes progressively deeper as the spindle breaks down. Eventually, the ingrowing constrictions join and separate two daughter cells. In plant cells, a cell plate is laid down, usually initiated at the center and extends towards the periphery. After the cell plate is laid down, primary walls are formed on either side of the cell plate.
