Question

The _____ muscle cells are multinucleated due to the fusion of myoblasts.

a) Cardiac
b) Smooth
c) Skeletal
d) Striated

Answer 1

Skeletal muscle cells are multinucleated due to the fusion of myoblasts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Skeletal muscle cells are multinucleated due to the fusion of myoblasts, making the correct answer c) Skeletal.

Unlike cardiac muscle cells and smooth muscle cells, which have a single nucleus, skeletal muscle cells contain many nuclei. During development, many smaller cells fuse to form a mature muscle fiber, and the nuclei of the fused cells are conserved in the mature cell.
