Cytokinesis Flashcards
What does cytokinesis follow
m phase (mitosis
Once the nucleus has divided into two genetically identical nuclei, what happens in cytokinesis
the whole cell divides and one nucleus moves into each cell to create two genetically identical daughter cells
In animal cells, cytokinesis involves constriction(separation of the ………
cytoplasm between the two nuclei
What happens in plant cells during mitosis
new cell wall forms
For example, an exam question might ask you to identify the stage of the cell cycle during which a cell would be producing the most mRNA molecules and explain why.
The correct answer would be the G1 phase, as this is when protein synthesis is occurring and the production of mRNA occurs during transcription (the first part of protein synthesis).
