The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to understand the processes involved in cell division, specifically karyokinesis and cytokinesis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Karyokinesis**: - Karyokinesis refers to the division of the nucleus during cell division. It is the first step in the process of cell division. 2. **Identifying the Next Step**: - After karyokinesis, the next step in cell division is cytokinesis, which is the division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two separate daughter cells. 3. **Analyzing the Question**: - The question states that if karyokinesis is not followed by cytokinesis, we need to determine what will happen in the case of a coconut. 4. **Effects of Lack of Cytokinesis**: - If cytokinesis does not occur after karyokinesis, the result will be a cell with multiple nuclei instead of two separate cells. This condition is known as a multinucleate cell. 5. **Specific Case of Coconut**: - In coconuts, the endosperm is formed as a result of the fusion of multiple nuclei without the subsequent division of the cytoplasm. This leads to the formation of a multinucleate structure known as the nuclear endosperm. 6. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, if karyokinesis is not followed by cytokinesis, it will lead to the formation of a multinucleate endosperm in coconut. ### Summary of the Answer: (i) Cytokinesis (ii) Multinucleate endosperm
