Haploid Cells Exposed to Dab Undergo Cell Division (image)

Caption

Haploid cells exposed to DAB (left) undergo cell division, while cells containing a larger number of chromosomes do not (right). Consequently, when exposed to DAB, haploid cells survive while cells with a larger number of chromosomes eventually disappear from cell cultures in the laboratory.
