Read the following statements and find out the INCORRECT statement.
Options
- AIn an animal cell, cytokinesis is achieved by the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane.
- BFurrow formation starts in the centre of cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls.
- CCell plate represents the middle lamella between the walls of two adjacent plant cells.
- DDuring cytokinesis, organelles like mitochondria and plastids get distributed between the two daughter cells.
Correct answer
B. Furrow formation starts in the centre of cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls.
Step-by-step solution
Cytokinesis is the final step in cell division. Cleavage furrow forms at the equatorial cortex after anaphase. This furrow advances inwards to separate the two daughter cells. Furrow formation is done by actin-myosin filaments within the equatorial region to form cleavage during early anaphase. Various organelles are distributed between the newly formed two daughter cells.
