Questions and Answers

What is karyokinesis?

  • The process of cell differentiation.
  • The process of cell migration.
  • The process of cell division in which the cytoplasm divides.
  • The process of cell division in which the nucleus divides. (correct)

    • What is the role of microtubules in karyokinesis?

  • They attach to chromosomes to ensure equal distribution (correct)
  • They form the contractile ring during cytokinesis
  • They decondense chromosomes in telophase
  • They form the phragmoplast in plant cells

    • What is the role of centrioles in karyokinesis?

  • To attach to chromosomes to ensure equal distribution.
  • To separate and migrate to opposite sides of the nucleus. (correct)
  • To form the phragmoplast.
  • To form the mitotic apparatus.

    Study Notes

    • Karyokinesis is the process of cell division in which the nucleus divides.
    • The process involves the separation and migration of centrioles to opposite sides of the nucleus.
    • Microtubules form the mitotic apparatus and attach to chromosomes to ensure equal distribution.
    • Karyokinesis can be divided into prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
    • Chromosomes become visible in prophase and align at the equator of the spindle in metaphase.
    • Sister chromatids are separated in anaphase, ensuring equal distribution.
    • Chromosomes decondense in telophase and the cell divides through cytokinesis.
    • Plant cells have some differences in their karyokinesis process, such as the absence of visible centrioles and the formation of a phragmoplast instead of a contractile ring during cytokinesis.
    • Vesicles from the Golgi complex play a role in the formation of the phragmoplast and the future cell wall.
    • Karyokinesis is a continuous process that ensures the proper distribution of genetic material in daughter cells.
