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: -Instead of plant cells forming a cleavage furrow such as develops between animal daughter cells, a dividing structure known as the cell plate forms in the cytoplasm and grows into a new, doubled cell wall between plant daughter cells. It divides the cell into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -During plant cell division, the cell plate forms and evolves into the new cell wall. This development of new cell walls during cell division is of profound importance to all plant life on earth, yet fundamental questions about the process remain unanswered.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is a type of cell division in which one cell (the mother) divides to produce two new cells (the daughters) that are genetically identical to itself. In the context of the cell cycle, mitosis is the part of the division process in which the DNA of the cell’s nucleus is split into two equal sets of chromosomes.
