Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If cytokinesis does not occur after mitosis, the result would be a cell with two nuclei. This is because during mitosis, the chromosomes are separated and pulled to opposite ends of the cell, resulting in the formation of two nuclei. Without cytokinesis, the cell does not divide completely, leaving it with two nuclei in a single cell.
