Plants and animals both undergo the cell cycle, mitosis, and meiosis. Describe the difference in the last phase of mitosis (Telophase) for both two cell types to highlight the differences in the final phase. In your answer, describe the cells through completion of cytokinesis and the formation of two new daughter cells for both. Hint: Be sure to include the contractile ring/ cleavage and phragmoplast when appropriate.

Expert Solution

ANIMAL CELLS: cytokinesis contracts, pinches the cells, made of protein called actin and the crease pinch is cleavage furrow

PLANT CELLS: can't be divided since cell wall is stiff, thus a plate structure is formed in between; so new daughter cells are created by splitting due to the wall.

thus, as cytokinesis is complete, we get two new daughter cells,

which is like the mother cell, each with a set of chromosomes.

Sort the statements according to whether they are true for mitosis only, meiosis only, both mitosis and meiosis, or neither. This occurs in liver cells. Somatic cells are produced. There is one nuclear division. The daughter cells contain pairs of homologous chromosomes. The daughter cells are identical. The DNA is replicated twice- once before each round of division. This generates genetic diversity. Sister chromatids separate. Four daughter cells are produced. There are two nuclear divisions. The DNA is replicated once...

As a result of mitosis cell (during cell division) of the Cell cycle, the number of chromosomes in the 2 new cells is a) used to eliminate mutations t, b) increased to 3 times the normal or diploid number, c) is reduced to 1/2 half of the diploid (normal) number representing one full set of chromosomes, d) is reduced to 1/2 the diploid number producing a random set of chromosomes, e) kept constant. The evolution of the three germ layers...
