One difference between cell division in plant cells and in animal cells is that plant cells have:
Correct answer: B. Centrioles
- A. Chromatin
- B. Centrioles
- C. Phragmoplast
- D. Contractile ring
Explanation
Recent research suggests that while centrioles are absent in some animal cells during interphase, they may still be present in modified forms or functionally equivalent structures. Additionally, some animal cells, like those in certain tissues or developmental stages, may lack centrioles altogether. This diversity reflects varying cell requirements and evolutionary adaptations rather than a universal absence of centrioles during cell division in animal cells.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
