Cytokinesis is the division of cytoplasm. If a cell completed mitosis but not cytokinesis, the result would be a cell with two nucleii.

If a cell does not divide, it may become too large and have difficulty obtaining nutrients and disposing waste effectively. This can lead to cell stress or death. In some cases, cells may enter a dormant state called G0 phase where they remain alive but do not actively divide.

the species will not survive, the species will not reproduce. This is why cells divide, this is called asexual reproduction.

If cytokinesis cease to occur (which happens frequently in skeletal muscles), then the result would be a multinucleated cell, where the cell contains 2 or more nuclei.

It becomes binucleate or multinucleate depending on the number of nuclear divisions it undergoes.

What would happen to a cell if the plastid were damaged or permanently dissolved?

Divide by zero.


What would happen to a cell if there was no Mitochondrion?

It would not be able to divide and die A LOT quicker.


If the cell cycle is uncontrolled what will happen to the cell?

If the cell cycle is uncontrolled, the cell may divide too rapidly, leading to uncontrolled growth or tumor formation. This can result in diseases like cancer where cells multiply uncontrollably and invade surrounding tissues. Additionally, uncontrolled cell division can prevent cells from undergoing apoptosis (cell death), leading to a buildup of abnormal cells.


What cell that cannot continue to divide?

Sperm and Ova cannot divide further.


What will happens when a cell divides?

It depends on the type of cell. If it is a tissue cell, then it will divide into two daughter cells through the process of mitosis. If it is a sex cell, a gamete, it will divide into four daughter cells by meiosis.
