Question

Phragmoplast is

• A. formed during cytokinesis in animal cells
• B. formed during cytokinesis in plant cells
• C. formed during karyokinesis in animal cells
• D. a type of plastid in plant cells

Answer 1

The correct option is B formed during cytokinesis in plant cells

The divison of cytoplasm is called cytokinesis which occurs after the karyokinesis.
In plant cells, cytokinesis occurs by the formation of cell plate. Cell plate is synthesised by a specialised structure called as phragmoplast. Phragmoplast consists of microtubules, actin filaments and other proteins.
