Q. Syncytium formation occurs if

Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Solution:

Cytokinesis is the division of protoplast of a cell into two daughter cells after the nuclear division or karyokinesis, so that each daughter cell comes to have its own nucleus. Cell organelles (mitochondria, plastids, Golgi bodies, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes) are also distributed between the two daughter cells. Some times, cytokinesis does not follow karyokinesis. It produces multinucleate condition known as coenocyte or syncytium.
