How is mitosis different in plants and animals

4 0

Plant and animal cells both undergo mitotic cell divisions. Their main difference is how they form the daughter cells during cytokinesis. During that stage, animal cells form furrow or cleavage that gives way to formation of daughter cells. Due to the existence of the rigid cell wall, plant cells don’t form furrows. Instead, they from cell plate at the center of the dividing cells separating the two forming components. During telophase, plant cells phragmoplast forms in the center of the cell.

Animal cells have centrioles that support the organization of mitotic spindle and completion of cytokinesis. Plant cells don't have centrioles.

Lastly, animal cells divide everywhere and all the time while plant cells divide in a specialized region called the meristems. #answerwithquality #BAL

Which post disaster phase is generally characterized by optimism due to an infusion of resources?

Tamiku [17]

I think the answer is Honeymoon phase. Post disaster periods are usually divided into four phases. These includes; Heroic phase, Honeymoon phase, Disillusionment phase and Reconstruction phase. Heroic phase occurs immediately after the disaster strikes. Honeymoon phase occurs immediately in the first few days after the disaster. Disillusionment phase, the community and the survvors are already getting tired and impatient. Reconstruction phase, it is the long term phase of the disaster where we must manage the expectations of the public regarding the ongoing recovery process.

Mendel’s pea plants had either purple or white flowers. This means that the plants

charle [14.2K]

Both purple and white flowers are recessive phenotypes. In order for an organism to exhibit a recessive phenotype, its genotype must be homogenous for the recessive allele. This is only possible if the parents of the organisms are also purebreeding and they demonstrate the same recessive phenotypes.

Which of the following plant cell structures could not be seen when using the 10X objective of the compound microscope?

OLga [1]

Endoplasmic Reticulum

ER Golgi apparatus, because it packages proteins received from the ER cytoplasm 

The Golgi body are the ones that slightly alter, organize and prepare so-called parcels to be delivered for all the organelles in the cell. They receive these packages mainly in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. These packages that set out by Golgi body are macromolecules that used and synthesized by cells in many operations. If ER is absent then it would only mean that Golgi body would have no use other than simply lysosomes but these macromolecules plays a dynamic role in many organelles –nutrients, ATP and cell metabolism. It'll have a ripple effect if ER is absent in the cell.
