First, each chromosome copies itself, and the duplicates line up at the "equator" of the cell. Then, duplicate copies of each chromosome are pulled toward opposite poles. Finally, the cell splits at the equator, producing two new cells with identical sets of chromosomes.

Answer: Cells don't just develop or exist out of thin air they must comefrom preexisting cells.

Explanation: As we all know from the popular cell theory cells come from pre-existing cells, but what does this mean? Scientists once thought that life spontaneously arose from nonliving things. Thanks to experimentation and the invention of the microscope, it is now known that life comes from preexisting life and that cells come from preexisting cells. Cells must divide or be reproduced by other cells. A cell can't be made any other way. At least to our current understanding that is that is why it is part of the cell theory not cell law.
