Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A syncytium is a type of cell that contains multiple nuclei within a single cytoplasm. This can occur when individual cells fuse together without undergoing cytokinesis, which is the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm and nucleus divide. A coenocyte is another name for a syncytium, so choice B is also correct. However, the other answer choices are not relevant to this definition. A sporocyte is a cell that undergoes meiosis to produce spores, a cytomere is not a term commonly used in biology, and polyploid refers to a cell or organism with more than two sets of chromosomes.
