A cell in prophase of mitosis is successfully fused to a cell in G2
of interphase, and then after fusion both nuclei are seen to have
fully condensed chromosomes and to proceed on through
mitosis.

to enter mitosis.
b) A cytosolic mitotic promoting factor from the cell in
prophase induced the nucleus from the cell in interphase
to enter M phase.
c)
The production of items by the cell in G2 helps to induce
the next stage of the cell cycle in both nuclei.
