Answer: <u>Option C; 48</u>
Explanation:
Let one number = x
Other number = x+2
According to question-
[x] [x+2] = 2400
+ 2x - 2400 = 0
Solving this equation, we get-
[x - 48] [x - 50 ] = 0
x = 48 or 50
Since 48 is the smaller number here, answer is option C
Plants have cell walls, so cytokinesis cannot go on with a cleavage furrow, but instead, a cell plate forms across the cell in the location of the metaphase plate.
There is no distinct groove along the cell plate as the cell divides because of the rigid nature of the cell plate or new cell wall.
A plant cell divides differently from an animal cell which forms a clear cleavage furrow because it only has a flexible cell membrane and not a rigid cell wall like plants.
The cell plate in plant cells is formed by membrane bound vesicles which migrate to the center of the cell where the metaphase plate used to be and fuse together to form a cell plate.
