Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The formation of a cell plate is a characteristic of
A
cytokinesis in plant cells
B
cytokinesis in animal cells
C
both A and B
D
neither A nor B
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis in terrestrial plants occurs by cell plate formation. This process entails the delivery of Golgi-derived and endosomal vesicles carrying cell wall and cell membrane components to the plane of cell division and the subsequent fusion of these vesicles within this plate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant cells undergoing cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division) form a cell plate in the center of the phragmoplast. The phragmoplast consists of both cytoskeletal and membranous elements.

Detailed explanation-3: -The formation of a cell plate is a characteristic of cytokinesis in plant and animals cells. Chromatids are held together by centromere. The correct order for the parts of mitosis are phrophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -In plant cell cytokinesis is marked by the appearance of the cell plate.
