How common is mitosis in plants and animals

There are lots of similarities between plant and animals mitosis, alongside varying differences.  

Some of their differences are:

   During Plant Mitosis, cells do not undergo cell furrowing because of its rigid cell wall while cell furrowing occurs in Animal cells.

   Cells shape in plants does not change before cell division while cells in animal become rounded before cell division.  

   During Telophase which is the stage of Mitosis in both Plant and Animal cells, cytokinesis occurs differently.

Further Explanation

What is Mitosis?

Mitosis is defined as a process where a single cell splits into two daughter cells or cell divisions. One of the major reasons of the occurrence of Mitosis is to replace old or worn-out cells and also for growth.

What is Plant Mitosis?

Plant mitosis refers to a part of plant cell division where the reproduced chromosomes are split into two daughter cells.

Mitosis in plants occurs in four stages which are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. During prophase, the chromatin is concentrated into individual chromosomes.  

What is Animal Mitosis?

Animal mitosis is explained to be a part of the cell cycle of animal cells where reproduced chromosomes are split into two daughter cells. In other words, it means nuclear division occurs during mitosis.

Like plant mitosis, animal mitosis also occurs in four major stages, namely: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
