Question

Each muscle fibre in the skeletal muscles is not a true cell because

• A. It is made up of many fibrils
• B. It has cross bands
• C. It has many nuclei produced by repeated nuclear division without cytokinesis in the same cell
• D. During embryonic development, each muscle fibre is formed of a number of individual cells

Answer 1

The correct option is C It has many nuclei produced by repeated nuclear division without cytokinesis in the same cell

• Muscle fibers are the cells or basic building block of the muscle. They are cylindrical and have more than one nucleus. They also have multiple mitochondria to meet energy needs
  
• Each muscle fibre in the skeletal muscles is not a true cell because it has many nuclei produced by repeated nuclear division without cytokinesis in the same cell.
• So, the correct answer is 'It has many nuclei produced by repeated nuclear division without cytokinesis in the same cell'.
