Mitosis is nuclear division that starts with 1 diploid cells and ends with 2
______________cells.
Your answer:
diploid
polyploid
haploid
tetraploid
After cell division, a daughter cell will have properties like the parent cell
because--
Your answer:
DNA is replicated prior to cell division

Your answer:
telophase
prophase
anaphase
interphase
