Choose the incorrect one with respect to cytokinesis in plants

A

In plants cells, wall formation starts in the centre of the cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls

B

The formation of the new cell wall begins with the formation of a simple precursor, called cell plate

C

The cell plate represents the middle lamellum between the walls of two adjacent cells

D

The cytokinesis in a plant cell is achieved by the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane called the cell cleavage

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding cytokinesis in plants, we will analyze each statement provided and determine which one is incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the First Statement:** - **Statement:** "In plant cells, wall formation starts in the center of the cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls." - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. In plant cells, during cytokinesis, a cell plate forms at the center and expands outward until it fuses with the existing cell walls. 2. **Analyze the Second Statement:** - **Statement:** "The formation of new cell wall begins with the formation of the simple precursor called cell plate." - **Analysis:** This statement is also correct. The cell plate is indeed the precursor to the new cell wall in plant cells, and it forms during cytokinesis. 3. **Analyze the Third Statement:** - **Statement:** "Cell plate represents the middle lamellum between the walls of the two adjacent cells." - **Analysis:** This statement is correct as well. The cell plate eventually develops into the middle lamella, which is the layer between the walls of two adjacent plant cells. 4. **Analyze the Fourth Statement:** - **Statement:** "The cytokinesis in the plant cell is achieved by the appearance of the furrow in the plasma membrane called the cell cleavage." - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. In plant cells, cytokinesis does not occur through the formation of a cleavage furrow (which is characteristic of animal cells). Instead, it occurs through the formation of a cell plate. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement regarding cytokinesis in plants is the fourth statement: "The cytokinesis in the plant cell is achieved by the appearance of the furrow in the plasma membrane called the cell cleavage." ---
