What is not correct about mitosis?
Options
- AUsually restricted to the diploid cells and haploid cells of some social insects
- BFurrow extends centripetally and microfilament ring brings about cleavage in plant cells.
- CGrowth in multicellular organisms is a result of Mitosis
- DMeristematic tissues show mitosis
Correct answer
B. Furrow extends centripetally and microfilament ring brings about cleavage in plant cells.
Step-by-step solution
Mitosis is an equational division in which one cell divides to form 2 daughter cells having the same number of chromosomes. It is quantitatively and qualitatively equational division. In animal cells, the cleavage furrow extends centripetally and the microfilament ring is involved in this process. In plant cells, the cell plate grows centrifugally without involving microfilaments.
