A scientist adds a chemical to a dividing plant cell that keeps the cell plate from forming during cytokinesis. The chemical does not inhibit any other aspect of cell division except the formation of the cell wall through the inhibition of the cell plate. What is the result of this experiment?

Chandler Blackwell · Answer 1

Loss of cell plate formation and production of multinuclear monads.

Explanation:

The inhibition of cell-plate formation during cytokinesis will inhibit the development of the phragmoplast which function as a scaffold for cell plate assembly and this will not allow for the formation of a new cell wall needed to separate the two new daughter cells leading to loss of cell plate formation and giving rise to multinuclear monads.
