@javawarrior explain?

This question is so terribly worded. At first, I thought it was trying to say that cells aren't supposed to copy their DNA before dividing. Because that would be a mistake. And I'm like.....what??

thomaster (thomaster):

@InYourHead Yes i was confused with this question too so i kinda didn't answer it because in cell division, the DNA is always copied before the division.... When the DNA is copied without cell division you would get a multinucleate (cell with multiple nuclei) This is not a hybrid because hybrid cell have second nuclei from a different origin for example in cell fusion.

I nod my head.
