Question

Your teacher asked you to identify the stage of mitosis of a specimen under the microscope. You observed that instead of a typical round cell shape, the cell has a narrow middle part which almost separates into two bulging ends and which looks like the number 8. What stage is the cell in? *
A. Interphase
B. Anaphase
C. Metaphase
D. Cytokinesis

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Cytokinesis

Explanation:

Mitosis is the cell division that involves the synthesis of two genetically identical daughter cells. Mitotic division occurs in stages namely: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Following this four processes is another called CYTOKINESIS

Cytokinesis, which occurs after nuclear division, is the division of the cytoplasm. According to this question, the observation made when viewing the specimen was that "the cell has a narrow middle part which almost separates into two bulging ends and which looks like the number 8". This described the process of CYTOKINESIS in plant cell specifically.
