Question

The unique feature of longitudinal division of diatom cells in successive generations is

• A. Progressive reduction in the size of daughter cells
• B. Formation of daughter cells larger than the parent cell
• C. Formation of daughter cells of equal size
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Progressive reduction in the size of daughter cells

Controlling relative daughter cell size is key during cytokinesis of new adhesive contacts between daughter cells involves a transient reduction of the neoplastic process in vitro, simulating the progressive nature in vivo. So, the correct option is "A" (Progressive reduction in the size of daughter cells).
