Question

Mutilnucleated condition that arises when karyokinesis is not followed by cytokinesis, is called

• A. syncytium
• B. coenocytic
• C. synkaryon
• D. coenozoic

Answer 1

The correct option is B coenocytic

A coenocyte is a multinucleate cell which can result from multiple nuclear divisions without their accompanying cytokinesis, in contrast to a syncytium, which results from cellular aggregation followed by dissolution of the cell membranes inside the mass.

Synkaryon is a cell nucleus formed by the fusion of two preexisting nuclei.
