Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Diatoms and some yeasts are unicellular eukaryotes that have mechanisms of nuclear division that may resemble intermediate steps in the evolution of mitosis. Which of the following is a characteristic feature of nuclear division in these organisms?
A
They have circular chromosomes that aresegregated by attachment to the plasma membrane.
B
They have circular chromosomes that are segregatedby attachment to spindle microtubules.
C
Chromosomes are not condensed during nucleardivision.
D
The nuclear envelope remains intact duringdivision.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Diatoms and some yeasts are unicellular eukaryotes that have mechanisms of nuclear division that may resemble intermediate steps in the evolution of mitosis. Which of the following is a characteristic feature of nuclear division in these organisms? The nuclear envelope remains intact during division.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. Cytokinesis typically overlaps with anaphase and/or telophase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nuclear envelope reassembly These components are dismantled during prophase and prometaphase and reconstructed during telophase, when the nuclear envelope reforms on the surface of separated sister chromatids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following is a characteristic feature of nuclear division in these organisms? Chromosomes are segregated by a mitotic spindle, but the nuclear envelope remains intact during division.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies-or ‘replicates’-its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
