In some organisms, karyokinesis is not followed by cytokinesis as a result of which, the multinucleate condition arises leading to the formation of the syncytium. The perfect example for this is:

1. Appearance of a furrow in cell membrane

2. Liquid endosperm in coconut

3. Sexual reproduction

4. Fertilization
