Question
Cytokinesis in animal cells is accomplished by constriction of the cell along the plane of cell division (formation of a cleavage furrow). In plant cells, which have cell walls, a completely different mechanism of cytokinesis has evolved.Which of the following statements are true of cytokinesis in plant cells? Select the two that apply.
a.After chromosome separation is complete, a network of microfilaments forms near the plane of cell division that will separate the two new cells.
b.The plasma membrane of the parent cell grows inward, eventually joining with the cell plate.
c.The cell plate consists of the plasma membrane and cell wall that will eventually separate the two daughter cells.
d.Vesicles from the Golgi apparatus move along microtubules, coalesce at the plane of cell division, and form a cell plate.
Explanation / Answer
These two: (not too sure about this one) The cell plate consists of the plasma membrane and cell wall that will eventually separate the two daughter cells (100% sure about this one) Vesicles from the Golgi apparatus move along microtubules, coalesce at the plane of cell division, and form a cell plate. - In plants, as the cell wall is developing, droplets or vesicles of pectin merge forming a cell plate that eventually will become the middle lamella of the new cell wall.
