CELL DIVISION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What structure assists in the cell division of plant cells?
A
cell wall
B
chloroplast
C
central vacuole
D
cell plate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The phragmoplast is the structure that builds a cell wall (called as “cell plate”) between daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Definition. A centrosome is a cellular structure involved in the process of cell division. Before cell division, the centrosome duplicates and then, as division begins, the two centrosomes move to opposite ends of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell plate grows outward from the center of the cell to the parental plasma membrane with which it will fuse, thus completing cell division. Formation and growth of the cell plate is dependent upon the phragmoplast, which is required for proper targeting of Golgi-derived vesicles to the cell plate.

Detailed explanation-4: -noun. (in plant cells) a plate that develops at the midpoint between the two groups of chromosomes in a dividing cell and that is involved in forming the wall between the two new daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hint: Cell plate is the structure found inside the dividing cells of terrestrial plants and some algae. Cell plate develops in the middle plane of the cell separating two daughter cells during cell division.
