A plant cell must build a new wall between its daughter cells. Where does the material come from?
AFilaments from the actin ring
BFibres from the mitotic spindle
CProteins from the nuclear pores
DVesicles from the Golgi apparatus
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Vesicles from the Golgi apparatus
1. A plant cell is boxed in by a rigid wall, so it cannot pinch inward.
2. During interphase the Golgi stockpiles enzymes, structural proteins and glucose.
3. These are packed into vesicles that travel on microtubules to the old metaphase plate.
4. There they fuse into a phragmoplast and then a cell plate, which grows outward to the walls.
5. An actin ring would only work in a cell without a wall to push against.
