Phragmoplasts are formed by:
Correct answer: C. Golgi Apparatus (Golgi bodies)
- A. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
- B. Mitochondria
- C. Golgi Apparatus (Golgi bodies)
- D. Nucleus
Explanation
The phragmoplast is a plant cell structure that appears during late cytokinesis. It is formed by the fusion of vesicles derived from the Golgi apparatus and facilitates the construction of a new cell wall between dividing cells. The incorrect options-Endoplasmic Reticulum, Mitochondria, and Nucleus-do not participate in this specific process. The Golgi apparatus is crucial for providing the vesicles needed for new cell wall material.

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.
