Multiple Choice
In the context of cytokinesis, what is a cell plate?
A
A structure formed from Golgi-derived vesicles that fuses to become the new cell wall separating two daughter cells in plant cells
B
A contractile ring of actin and myosin that pinches the plasma membrane to separate two daughter cells in animal cells
C
A microtubule-based structure that segregates chromosomes by attaching to kinetochores during anaphase
D
A region of the nucleus where ribosomal RNA is synthesized and ribosomal subunits begin to assemble
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that cytokinesis is the process during cell division where the cytoplasm divides to form two daughter cells.
Recognize that plant and animal cells use different mechanisms for cytokinesis due to their structural differences.
Recall that in plant cells, a new cell wall must form between the daughter cells, which involves the formation of a cell plate.
Know that the cell plate is formed by the fusion of vesicles derived from the Golgi apparatus, which carry materials needed to build the new cell wall.
Contrast this with animal cells, where a contractile ring of actin and myosin pinches the plasma membrane to separate the cells, and understand that the cell plate specifically refers to the plant cell structure.
