Answer:

During embryogenesis, intestinal cells of Caenorhabditis elegans alter their cell cycle by replacing mitosis with nuclear divisions and subsequent endoreduplication. Endoreduplication (or endoreplication) is a type of cell cycle without mitosis that generates cells with doubled ploidy level
