How many of the given statements regarding cytokinesis are true?
1. 2
2. 3
3. 4
4. 5
| I: | In an animal cell, this is achieved by the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane. |
| II: | The furrow gradually deepens and ultimately joins in the centre dividing the cell cytoplasm into two. |
| III: | In plant cells, wall formation starts in the centre of the cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls. |
| IV: | The formation of the new cell wall begins with the formation of a simple precursor, called the cell-plate that represents the middle lamella between the walls of two adjacent cells. |
| V: | At the time of cytoplasmic division, organelles like mitochondria and plastids get distributed between the two daughter cells. |
