Question

Looking into your microscope, you spot an unusual cell. Instead of the typical rounded cell shape, the cell has a very narrow middle separating two bulging ends. It sort of looks like the number 8! You realize that this cell is A) undergoing cytokinesis B) in the S phase of interphase. C) in the G1 phase of interphase. D) about to undergo mitosis.

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Cell completes its division by karyokinesis and cytokinesis.

The division of nucleus is known as karyokinesis which divided into two main phases known as inter-phase and mitotic phase.

Inter-phase is further divided into G1, S and G2 phase, in S phase, replication of DNA occurs. Mitotic phase is further divided into prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

After telophase, Cytokinesis occurs. Cytokinesis is the process of the division of cytoplasm, which occurs after karyokinesis. In cytokinesis, the cell contains a very narrow middle separating 2 bulging ends and the cells looks like as the number 8.
