Suppose that after fusion the resultant diploid cell underwent mitotic cell division instead of meiotic cell division. What would be the major difference in how the chromosomes align prior to cell division? Briefly discuss how this alignment difference results in daughter cells generated by mitotic cell division being different from daughter cells generated by meiotic cell division.
