If a cell has 2C amount of DNA at the start of the G1 phase, what will be the amount of DNA after the completion of the S phase?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: 4C
During the S phase, DNA replication results in the doubling of the DNA content. Therefore, if the initial amount is 2C, it increases to 4C by the end of the S phase.
