What is another word for endoreduplication?
Pronunciation: [ɛndˌɔːɹɪdjˌuːplɪkˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Endoreduplication is a process of cell division that results in the doubling of chromosome number without simultaneous cell division. Some synonyms for endoreduplication include endoreplication, endocycle, endopolyploidy, and endomitosis. Endoreplication is a common term used in plant biology to describe the process of repeated rounds of DNA replication within a single nucleus. Endocycle is a process of repeated DNA replication followed by chromosome condensation and segregation into daughter nuclei in which cells become polyploid. Endomitosis is another term used to describe endoreduplication, where cells continue to undergo the mitotic process resulting in duplicated chromosomes but do not divide into separate cells. Endopolyploidy refers to the condition of a cell or organism possessing two or more sets of chromosomes beyond the diploid number.
