Endoreduplication results in:

  • A Two genetically normal, diploid daughter cells
  • B Polyploid cells (multiple sets of chromosomes)
  • C Complete absence of any cell division event
  • D Only repair of damaged DNA without division

Correct answer: B. Polyploid cells (multiple sets of chromosomes)

Explanation: Endoreduplication: DNA replicates without cell division, producing polyploid cells. Common in plant cells and some animal tissues.

Concept context

Mitosis and meiosis: how cells divide for growth, repair, and reproduction.
