Cell Cycle and Cell Division Question 11
11. In the somatic cell cycle
[2004]
(a) In $G_1$ phase DNA content is double the amount of DNA present in the original cell
(b) DNA replication takes place in S-phase
(c) a short interphase is followed by a long mitotic phase
(d) $G_2$ phase follows mitotic phase
Show Answer
Answer : b
Hints & Solutions
(b) DNA replication is restricted to $S-$ phase of interphase. $G_2$ phase is followed by the mitotic phase which is shorter than the interphase. In $G_2$ phase, DNA content is double than the amount present in the original cell.
