In mitosis, the main difference between plant and animal cells is that

A. plants do not undergo cytokinesis.
B. plants produce a cell plate to segregate the daughter nuclei, while animals form a cleavage furrow.
C. plants have a central vacuole, while animal cells do not.
D. plants produce a cell membrane in cytokinesis, while animals form a cell plate.
E. in plants, kinetochore microtubules shorten and draw chromosomes toward the poles; in animals, polar microtubules lengthen to push chromatids apart.


B. plants produce a cell plate to segregate the daughter nuclei, while animals form a cleavage furrow.
