Mitosis - Endomitosis

Endomitosis

Endomitosis is a variant of mitosis without nuclear or cellular division, resulting in cells with many copies of the same chromosome occupying a single nucleus. This process may also be referred to as endoreduplication and the cells as endoploid. An example of a cell that goes through endomitosis is the megakaryocyte.
