Question

Cell division in plant is called

Answer 1

Cell division in plants is primarily referred to as "mitosis," which is the process of somatic cell division. Specifically, plant cells also undergo a unique form of cytokinesis (the final stage of cell division) that involves the formation of a cell plate, as opposed to cleavage furrows seen in animal cells. This cell plate eventually develops into the new cell wall that separates the two daughter cells. In addition to mitosis, the process of meiosis occurs in plants for the formation of gametes during sexual reproduction.
