a
Cells would automatically experience apoptosis
b
Cells would accelerate in growth and rate of divisions - increasing in number.
c
Cells would become a tumor, leading to a malignant cancer.
d
Cells would be go through the cell cycle, but would double in nuclei following each mitosis.
d
ohio
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure how the term "Ohio" relates to the question about the result of exposure to a chemical that inhibits cytokinesis. Can you please provide further clarification or context?
The correct answer is:
d) Cells would go through the cell cycle, but would double in nuclei following each mitosis.
Explanation:
Cytokinesis is the process in which the cytoplasm of a cell divides to form two separate daughter cells. It usually follows after mitosis, which is the division of the nucleus. In this scenario, the chemical produced by the plant inhibits cytokinesis, meaning that the cytoplasm does not divide properly after mitosis.
As a result, the cells go through the cell cycle normally, which includes DNA replication and mitosis, but the cytoplasm does not divide. This leads to the formation of cells with multiple nuclei, as each cell division results in the doubling of nuclei without proper separation.
Therefore, option d) Cells would go through the cell cycle, but would double in nuclei following each mitosis is the correct result of exposure to this chemical.
