chromosomes are duplicated before cell division so that each
new daughter cell has a complete set.
chromosomes are divided evenly during cell division so that each
new daughter cell has an equal share of the original set.
o chromosomes are lored in the original cell to direct the division
of all daughter cells, which do not have their own chromosomes.
o chromosomes are randomly distributed during cell division so
that some new cells have partial sets while others have complete
sets.
