A cell with one mutation is unable to complete cell division (mitosis). What intracellular structure/structures might be defective? Explain your answer by first giving the normal role of this/these structures and then explaining why when defective, it/they might prevent the cell from completing mitosis.

Select one:
contain less genetic material than less specialized cells of the same organism.
