CELL DAMAGE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The formation of a cell plate is beginning across the middle of a cell and nuclei are re-forming at opposite ends of the cell. What kind of cell is this?
A
a plant cell in metaphase
B
an animal cell undergoing cytokinesis
C
a plant cell undergoing cytokinesis
D
an animal cell in metaphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The formation of a cell plate is specific to plant cells, as animal cells undergo cytokinesis through the formation of a cleavage furrow. Therefore, the correct answer is: a plant cell undergoing cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore the answer ‘Plant cell in the process of cytokinesis’ is correct.

Detailed explanation-3: -Through a microscope, you can see a cell plate beginning to develop across the middle of a cell and nuclei forming on either side of the cell plate. This cell is most likely a. an animal cell in the process of cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytokinesis occurs by a special mechanism in higher-plant cells-in which the cytoplasm is partitioned by the construction of a new cell wall, the cell plate, inside the cell. The position of the cell plate is determined by the position of a preprophase band of microtubules and actin filaments.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cell plate formation happens in the plant cells at the final stage of cell division.
