Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When a plant cell goes through cell division, ____
A
the 2 new nuclei are separated by the cell membrane pinching off.
B
4 new cells are formed
C
a cell plate forms, dividing the 2 new nuclei
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -During telophase and cytokinesis in plants, vesicles collect along the center of the cell and coalesce, forming the cell plate.

Detailed explanation-3: -During the mitotic phase, a cell will undergo mitosis to form two new nuclei and then divide to form two new individual cells during cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis divides the nucleus into two nuclei, followed by cytokinesis which divides the cytoplasm. Two genetically identical daughter cells result.

Detailed explanation-5: -For both plants and animals to grow, their cells must divide to produce more cells. In the process of cell division, one cell becomes two. This process is different in plant and animal cells because plant cells have cell walls.
