Question

If a cell has completed Mitosis but not yet completed Cytokinesis, what would it look like?

A. The cell will be elongated and have 2 separate nuclei inside it.
B. The cell will have split into 2 separate cells, but they will not have formed their nuclei yet.
C. Only Mitosis is required for cell division, so the cell will have finished dividing.
D. The cell will have all of the chromosomes lined up in the center, ready for division

Answer 1

If a cell has completed Mitosis but not yet completed Cytokinesis, then A) The cell will be elongated and have 2 separate nuclei inside it.

Cytokinesis is the stage of cytoplasmic division, directly after nuclear division in mitosis.

When cytokinesis does not occur, that means that there are two nuclei that have already been formed, however the cytoplasms of the two new daughter cells have not been separated.
