Which of the followings are primarily responsible for cytokinesis in plant cells?
Correct answer: B. Golgi-derived vesicles
- A. Kinetochores
- B. Golgi-derived vesicles
- C. Actin and myosin
- D. Centrioles and basal bodies
Explanation
Golgi-derived vesicles are primarily responsible for cytokinesis in plant cells. These vesicles contain cell wall materials such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin, which are deposited at the cell plate during cytokinesis to form the new cell wall that separates the daughter cells.

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.

Taxol, anticancer drug, disrupts microtubule formation by binding to microtubules and accelerating their assembly so surprisingly, this stops mitosis. Specifically, Taxol must affect:

Regarding mitosis and cytokinesis, one difference between higher plants and animals is that in plants:
