Yes, other plants and animals can undergo different processes of cell division than the most commonly known process, which is mitosis.

In plants, there is a specialized form of mitosis called "meiosis" that is used to produce spores or gametes with half the normal number of chromosomes. This is necessary for sexual reproduction to occur. Meiosis involves two rounds of cell division, resulting in four haploid cells that are genetically unique.

In animals, there are also different types of cell division that occur in specialized cells. For example, in the testes and ovaries, cells undergo a type of cell division called meiosis to produce sperm and eggs, respectively. In addition, some cells in the body, such as muscle cells and neurons, do not undergo cell division at all after they have matured, so they do not go through mitosis or meiosis.

There are also several different types of cell division that occur in prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria, such as binary fission, which is a simple form of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.
