Cell Cycle

AP Biology· difficulty 2/5

Plant cells cannot pinch in the way animal cells do because of their rigid cell wall.

vesicles fusing to form cell plate Plant cell cytokinesis

The cell plate in plant cytokinesis forms primarily from:

  • A

    Chromosome decondensation

  • B

    Pinching by actin/myosin

  • C

    Lateral cell wall ingrowth from outside the cell

  • D

    Golgi-derived vesicles fusing at the cell midline

Explanation

Vesicles carrying cell wall material from the Golgi fuse along the equator to form the cell plate, which extends outward to fuse with the existing wall.
