Question

Through a microscope, you can see a cell plate beginning to develop across the middle of a cell and nuclei forming on either side of the cell plate. This cell is most likely Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer:

the cell is most likely a plant cell in cytokinesis

Explanation:

Cytokinesis simply means the division of the cytoplasm. It happens after the telophase stage of the cell division and leads to the formation of two distinct cells.

Cytokinesis in animal cells involves the constriction of the plasma membrane from the equator of the cell outward until two distinct cells result. The process starts from the anaphase and continues through the telophase stage of the cell division.

Due to the presence of cell walls in plant cells, cytokinesis does not just involve the constriction of the plasma membrane but the formation of cell plates at the equator of the cell. The cell plate fuses with the plasma membrane, eventually dividing the cell into two with the formation of cell walls between the two membranes of the cell plate.
