Question

unit 2.3 cell cycle, mitosis, meiosis quiz 2025-26
which of the following accurately describes cytokinesis in plant cells?
a contractile ring forms followed by a cleavage furrow, splitting the cell into two.
a plate forms from vesicles fused together in the center of the cell, separating the cell into two
a contractile ring forms followed by a plate, splitting the cell into two
a plate forms from vesicles, followed by a cleavage furrow, separating the cell into two.

Explanation:

In plant cells, during cytokinesis, vesicles from the Golgi apparatus fuse together in the center of the cell to form a cell - plate. This cell - plate gradually develops into a new cell wall that separates the two daughter cells. Animal cells, on the other hand, form a contractile ring and a cleavage furrow for cytokinesis.

Answer:

A plate forms from vesicles fused together in the center of the cell, separating the cell into two.
