Question

Suppose you treat cells with chemicals that block cytokinesis describe what you think the cells would look like

Answer 1

The cells would look attached. It would look like an abnormally large cell with two sets of identical DNA and two nuclei.

Answer 2

The cells would be large with 2 nucleui because the cytoplasm did not split to make the cell divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Partitioning in two copies is called cytokinesis and occurs in the animal cell from the outside in, that is, as if the cell were strangled and split in two. When this happens there is a distribution of organelles between the two sister cells. Note that cytokinesis is actually the division of cytoplasm. This division may start already in anaphase, depending on the cell.

If you treat cells with chemicals that block cytokinesis, this division will not occur, the cells will become very large with two nuclei because the cytoplasm would not divide to make the cell divide.
