Exam 14: Cellular Reproduction

You are carrying out experiments in cell fusion by fusing together cells at different stages of the cell cycle. You then observe the behavior of each nucleus residing in the combined cytoplasm of the two cells. Which of the following responses would occur if you fused an S-phase cell to a cell in the M phase?
