Phragmoplast for cytokinesis in plant cells is formed during:
Correct answer: A. Metaphase
- A. Metaphase
- B. Early telophase
- C. Anaphase
- D. Prophase
Explanation
At cytokinesis, in place of the contractile ring membrane structure, a phragmoplast is formed from vesicles that originate from the Golgi complex in plant cells. These vesicles originate during metaphase and line up in the centre of the dividing cell, where they fuse to form a phragmoplast at the end of telophase.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
