Question

Imagine that you are looking into a microscope and you see a cell plate beginning to for across the middle of a cell. You also see that there are nuclei forming on either side of the cell plate. From this observation, you deduce that the cell you are examining is most likely _________________. an animal cell in the process of cytokinesis an animal cell in anaphase of mitosis a plant cell in the process of cytokinesis a plant cell in metaphase of mitosis

Answer 1

a plant cell in the process of cytokinesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so let us fill in the gap in the question above first. Note that the capitalized words are the missing words;

'' Imagine that you are looking into a microscope and you see a cell plate beginning to for across the middle of a cell. You also see that there are nuclei forming on either side of the cell plate. From this observation, you deduce that the cell you are examining is most likely A PLANT CELL IN THE PROCESS OF CYTOKINESIS''.

CYTOKINESIS can simply be defined as the division of cell into two after mitosis. Therefore, if one can see ''see that there are nuclei forming on either side of the cell plate" then it is definitely a plant cell in the process of cytokinesis. It is not an animal cell because in animal cell there is adoption of cleavage furrow).

Answer 2

A plant cell in the process of cytokinesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Formation of a cell plate occurs during cytokinesis in cell division in plant cells. They form across the middle of a cell that has undergone division into two daughter cells acting to separate these two daughter cells from each other.

Thus, observation of a nuclei forming on either side of the cell plate indictes a plant cell undergoing the process of cytokinesis.
