Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is formed during telophase in a plant cell?
A
cell wall
B
cleavage furrow
C
cell membrane
D
cell plate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Gradually, the growing cell plate fuses with the existing plasma membrane, producing two daughter cells, each with its own plasma membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Telophase. In telophase, the nuclear membrane forms around the chromosomes in each of the daughter cells, a cell plate forms between these cells, and cell walls separate the newly formed cells in a process called cytokinesis .

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells undergoing cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division) form a cell plate in the center of the phragmoplast.

Detailed explanation-4: -During telophase, these Golgi vesicles are transported on microtubules to form a phragmoplast (a vesicular structure) at the metaphase plate. There, the vesicles fuse and coalesce from the center toward the cell walls; this structure is called a cell plate.

Detailed explanation-5: -When does the cell plate form during cell division? The cell plate formation occurs during telophase and cytokinesis.
