The 'preprophase band' of microtubules is a unique feature of plant mitosis that determines:
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The site of the future cell plate and division plane
The preprophase band is a dense ring of microtubules that appears just before prophase. It precisely marks the equatorial plane where the cell plate will eventually fuse with the parental cell wall.
