Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
multinucleate means that ____
A
an indeterminate amount of nuclei
B
one or more nuclei
C
specifically just on nuclei
D
more than one nuclei (not only one)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Multinucleate cells (also known as multinucleated or polynuclear cells) are eukaryotic cells that have more than one nucleus per cell, i.e., multiple nuclei share one common cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most cell types normally have a single nucleus, whereas some types of cells contain multiple nuclei. Nuclear division without cytokinesis occurs in some types of mammalian cells, including megakaryocytes, which produce blood platelets, and some hepatocytes and heart muscle cells [1].

Detailed explanation-3: -Multinucleated muscle cells, or skeletal muscle fibers, form when several myocytes merge together to form a single, larger cell. Myocytes refer to the special cells that form muscles within the human body. An example of skeletal muscle fibers showing the presence of multiple nuclei, or multinucleation.
