Solution

Dear Student,

Plant cells have centrosomes instead of centriole and play the similar roles in cell division as what centrioles play in cell division of animal cells. But centrosomes have relatively simpler organisation than centriole in animal cells.

Q. Sir
How does mitosis occur in plants without centrioles and centrosomes. We are taught that spindle fibres are formed by centrioles moving to opposite poles of the cell and plant cells don't posses centrioles. Then how is the spindle apparatus is formed and constricted to divide the chromatids.
