What is the end result of 'Karyokinesis' without 'Cytokinesis'?

  1. Death of the affected cell
  2. A multinucleated cell (Coenocyte)
  3. A cell with no nucleus
  4. Uncontrolled division of chloroplasts
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A multinucleated cell (Coenocyte)

Karyokinesis is the division of the nucleus. If the cytoplasm fails to divide afterward, the result is a single cell containing multiple nuclei, a condition found in some plant tissues like the liquid endosperm of coconut.
