An organism called a plasmodial slime mold is one large cytoplasmic mass with many nuclei. Explain how such a 'megacell' could form.

Identify at least two events in the cell cycle that must be completed successfully for daughter cells to share an identical complement of chromosomes.

The drug cytochalasin B blocks the function of actin. Which of the following aspects of the animal cell cycle would be most disrupted by cytochalasin B?a. spindle formationb. spindle attachment to kinetochoresc. cell elongation during anaphased. cleavage furrow formation and cytokinesis

When a fruit fly embryo first begins to develop, a large cell is generated that contains over 8000 genetically identical nuclei. What is most likely responsible for this result?

DRAW IT Draw one eukaryotic chromosome as it would appear during interphase, during each of the stages of mitosis, and during cytokinesis. Also draw and label the nuclear envelope and any microtubules attached to the chromosome(s).

Compare cytokinesis in plant and animal cells. In what ways are the two processes similar? In what ways are they different?
