Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of cell will form a cell plate during mitosis?
A
Haploid cells
B
Plant Cells
C
Animal Cells
D
Diploid Cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Instead of splitting by using a cleavage furrow like animal cells, plant cells will form the cell plate. This cell plate eventually produces the cell wall in plants. Plant cells contain cell walls.

Detailed explanation-3: -Instead, during telophase, a cell plate forms across the cell in the location of the old metaphase plate separating the two forming cells. During telophase, membrane-enclosed vesicles derived from the Golgi apparatus migrate to the center of the cell where the metaphase plate used to be and fuse to form a cell plate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Abstract. Plant cells divide in two by constructing a new cell wall (cell plate) between daughter nuclei after mitosis. Golgi-derived vesicles are transported to the equator of a cytoskeletal structure called a phragmoplast, where they fuse together to form the cell plate.
