In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

56% Answer Correctly

nuclei

chromosomes

chromatids

cells


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


3

5

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

Golgi apparatus

endoplasmic reticulum

all of these deal with proteins

ribosomes
