Explanation

Endomitosis refers to the chromosome division without entering into M phase. Thus it forms many replicative strands without distributing into daughter cells.

In this, the cell remains in S phase but it doesn.t enter into M phase thus no cell division occurs.Ex. Polytene chromosome found in the salivary glands of Drosophila.
