Question

In plant cells, what is the function of the cell plate during cytokinesis?
Options
A Prevents the formation of the mitotic spindle
B Assists in chromosome movement
C Facilitates the formation of a new cell wall between daughter cells
Correct Answer
D Enhances centriole duplication
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In plant cells, vesicles from the Golgi apparatus coalesce at the metaphase plate to form a cell plate. This structure matures into a new cell wall that partitions the daughter cells.

Hint

Plant cells have rigid walls, so division requires building a new partition.
