In the cells of some organisms, repeated cytokinesis can sometimes occur without the accompanying mitotic phase. This results in _____.

a. cells with more than one nucleus

b. cells lacking nuclei

c. cells that are unusually small

d. destruction of chromosomes

e. cell cycles lacking an S phase

f. cells that are unusually small with most lacking a nucleus

Solution

Answer : a. Cells without more than one nucleus.

There are many cells where mitosis and cytokinesis occurs seperately, forming single cells with multiple nuclei.The most notable occurence of this is among the fungi, slime molds and ceonocytic algae, but the phenomenon is found in other various organs. Even in animals, cytokinesis and mitosis may occur independently, for instance duringcertain stages of embryonic development.
