During the process of mitosis, one cell splits to form _________________________________________. 4. Deb has a foal that looks exactly like the mare and a friend mentions that the foal must have obtained more characteristics from the mother. What should Deb tell the friend about genetics? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 5.
