== Differences in plant and animal cell prophase == [[File:Preprophase.jpg|thumb|''Arabidopsis thaliana'' cell in preprophase, prophase and prometaphase. Preprophase band is present along the cell wall from images 1β3, is fading in image 4, and disappears by image 5.<ref name="Nussbaum 2016 12β20"/>]] The most notable difference between prophase in [[plant cell]]s and [[Cell (biology)|animal cells]] occurs because plant cells lack [[centriole]]s. The organization of the [[spindle apparatus]] is associated instead with foci at opposite poles of the cell or is mediated by chromosomes. Another notable difference is [[preprophase]], an additional step in plant [[mitosis]] that results in formation of the [[preprophase band]], a structure composed of [[microtubule]]s. In [[Mitosis|mitotic]] prophase I of plants, this band disappears.<ref name=":1" />
