Plant mitosis Animal mitosis
(i) The cell do not change shape prior to division. The cell often becomes spherical prior to division.
(ii) Cell plate grows centripetally. Cleavage proceeds centrifugally.
(iii) Microfilaments do not have much role in cytokinesis. Microfilaments bring about cleavage.
(iv) Spindle is anastral. Spindle is astral.

Solution

The correct option is A Only (ii) is incorrect
In plant cells, the cell plate grows from the center towards the lateral walls. So, it described as centrifugal.
In animal cells, the furrow deepens from the periphery towards the center and meets at the center. So, it describes as centripetal.
So, the correct option is ' Only (ii) is incorrect'.
