NEETBotanyCell Cycle and Cell Division
In some organisms, what happens if karyokinesis is not followed by cytokinesis?
Options
- AA multinucleate condition arises leading to the formation of syncytium
- BA single nuclei condition arises leading to the formation of syncytium
- CA multinucleate condition arises leading to the formation of multiple nuclei
- DA single nuclei condition arises leading to the formation of multiple nuclei
Correct answer
A. A multinucleate condition arises leading to the formation of syncytium
Step-by-step solution
Plant cells however, are enclosed by a relatively inextensible cell wall, thererfore they undergo cytokinesis by a different mechanism. In plant cells, wall formation starts in the centre of the cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls. The formation of the new cell wall begins with the formation of a simple precursor, called the cell-plate that represents the middle lamella between the walls of two adjacent cells. At the time of cytoplasmic division, organelles like mitochondria and plastids get d
