what is a syncytium and coenocyte ?
Answers
Answer:
Syncytium and coenocyte are two types of cells that are multinucleate. ...Syncytium is a result of cellular fusion by the dissolution of cell membranes whilecoenocyte is a result of multiple nuclear divisions without undergoing cytokinesis.
Syncytium can be explained as a single cell with a number of nuclei in it.
Coenocyte can be defined as a mass of several adjoining cells formed my cell division.
Explanation:
Syncytium is the stage before the cell division when the nucleus and nuclear material becomes denser.
Coenocyte is the stage of the cell after cell division but we can't identify an individual cell in this stage.
It should be noted that syncytium and coenocyte are two different kinds of cells. Syncytium is generally found in the cardiac muscle or in the wall of the heart whereas, Coenocyte is found in striated muscles and in soft tissues.
Both syncytium and coenocyte are found as a jointed one and apperas to be electrically connected with each other or as a chain of neurons.
