Cell Division and Mitosis

Question 2 • Anatomy & Physiology A

Which steps are unique to the division of cells in animals? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
A cleavage furrow forms.
B
Centrioles attach to spindle fibers.
C
A cell plate forms.
D
Chromosomes move to the middle of the cell.

Explanation

Animal cells divide their cytoplasm by forming a cleavage furrow, so A is unique to animal cells. Centrioles help organize the spindle in animal cells, making B the other animal-specific step. Plant cells form a cell plate instead of a cleavage furrow, and chromosomes move to the middle during division in both plant and animal cells.
