Which of the following statements is FALSE with respect to both bacterial binary fission and eukaryotic mitotic cell division?
A)DNA must be replicated prior to division.
B)Daughter cells must contain the same hereditary material as one another and the parent cell.
C)Cytoplasmic materials must be distributed to each of the daughter cells.
D) The nuclear envelope must disintegrate before the spindle apparatus can move the chromosomes.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In bacterial binary fission, there is no nuclear envelope to disintegrate, as there is no nucleus. The replicated DNA simply segregates to opposite ends of the cell, and the cell divides in the middle. Similarly, in eukaryotic mitotic cell division, the nuclear envelope must disintegrate before the spindle apparatus can move the chromosomes, but this statement is true and not false. Therefore, option D is false. Options A, B, and C are true for both types of cell division.
