Question

A cell underwent mitosis but not cytokinesis. What would the result be?

A. One cell with one nucleus containing twice the normal number of chromosomes.

B. One cell with two nuclei, each containing a normal number of chromosomes.

C. Two daughters cells that are unusually small.

D. Two daughter cells twice the number of chromosomes.

Answer 1

B. One cell with two nuclei, each containing a normal number of chromosomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cytokinesis is the final step of mitosis in which the contents of the cell (cytoplasm and nuclei) are separated into two distinct, identical daughter cells. Mitosis without cytokinesis results in a cell with more than one nucleus but a connected cytoplasm (syncytium).
