During cytokinesis mitochondria and plastid gets distributed between two daughter cells in mitosis. III. Liquid endosperm in coconut is syncytium. IV. Furrow formation occurs in the animal cell during cytokinesis.
Options
- A1
- B2
- C3
- D4
Correct answer
D. 4
Step-by-step solution
In an animal cell, cytokinesis is achieved by the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane. The furrow gradually deepens and ultimately joins in the centre dividing the cell cytoplasm into two. 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 cytopl
