Joseph went to a copy center and used a copy machine to make a duplicate set of 46 pages. He then stapled every copied sheet to its original. This is similar to how a cell replicates its chromosomes in mitosis. Why would a cell do something similar during mitosis??

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

A cell would do something similar during mitosis to keep the copies and originals organized for later separation.

In Biology, Mitosis is the duplication of a cell or cell division. When the cell is divided or duplicated, it also duplicates the DNA. In doing that, the cell goes to a process that includes prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and interphase. This process is the same for all living organisms that live on planet Earth.
