A student argues that cleavage furrows and cell plates are identical because both form near the former metaphase plate. Which response best evaluates the claim?
A
The claim is correct because any structure at the cell equator must be a cleavage furrow.
B
The division plane can be similar, but the mechanisms differ: furrows constrict the surface, whereas cell plates build a new internal partition.
C
The claim is correct because plant and animal cells have identical walls and membranes.
D
The claim is incorrect only because cell plates occur before mitosis, while furrows occur after DNA replication.
