The cells in red bone marrow that produce blood platelets are called megakaryocytes, which can be
loosely translated as big nucleus cells. These cells continue to move through the cell cycle, but they
skip mitosis and cytokinesis. Review the steps of the cell cycle. What do you think the result of this
modified cell cycle would be?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Limits platelets population.

Explanation:

The result of this  modified cell cycle would be the presence of limited population of this cell because no mitosis occurs in these cells. Mitosis is a type of cell division that increases population of the cells. These megakaryocytes are changed into platelets by releasing protoplatelets that break up into a number of smaller and functional platelets. These platelets skip mitosis and cytokinesis process which limits their population in the body.
