True or False:
Most higher plants form asters during cell division, just like animal cells do.
Correct Answer
False
Explanation
False. Most higher plants do not have centrioles, so they do not form asters during cell division. They do still develop spindle fibers at prophase, but the aster formations - which radiate from centrioles in animal cells - are absent in plant cell division.
