In the 'S' phase of cell cycle:
Correct answer: A. Amount of DNA doubles in each cell
- A. Amount of DNA doubles in each cell
- B. Amount of DNA remains same in each cell
- C. Chromosome number is decrease
- D. Amount of DNA is reduced to half in each cell
Explanation
S phase (Synthesis Phase) is the phase of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated, occurring between G1 phase and G2 phase. To produce two similar daughter cells, the complete DNA instructions in the cell must be duplicated. DNA replication occurs during this S (synthesis) phase. So, the correct answer is (a)'Amount of DNA doubles in each cell'.
