    Mitosis occurs in different cell types in animals and plants. In animals, mitosis happens in many cell types and involves centrioles dividing to form spindle fibers and cytokinesis through cleavage. In plants, mitosis only occurs in meristem cells and lacks centrioles, instead forming a cell plate during cytokinesis induced by the cytokine hormone.
