To determine whether the cells depicted are plant or animal cells during mitosis, you can look for the following characteristics:
- **Plant Cells**: Typically have a rigid cell wall, large central vacuole, and often show formations like a cell plate during cytokinesis.
- **Animal Cells**: Lack a cell wall, have smaller vacuoles, and during cytokinesis, they form a cleavage furrow to divide the cell.
If the cells show evidence of a cell plate or are more rectangular in shape, they are likely plant cells. If they show a cleavage furrow or are more rounded, they are likely animal cells.
