How many chromosomes will the cell have at GI, after S and after M-phase respectively if it has 14 chromosomes at interphase

biology division for growth and reproduction cell division in embryo development structure of chromosome, cell cycle and cell division component of the cell different types of reproduction reproductive health of humans need of family planning tissues of animals mitosis reproductive health

  1. 7, 14, 14

  2. 14, 14, 14

  3. 14, 14, 7

  4. 7, 7, 7

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

At G1 phase, there will be 14 chromosomes as no DNA replication has taken place. After S Phase, the DNA content doubles but chromosome number still remains same here 14. After completion of M phase, the number of chromosomes will be 28 with each daughter cell having same number of chromosomes as that of parent i.e 14

Therefore B is the correct option. 

Match the lists and choose the correct option:

a. $G _1$ phase i. Replication of DNA
b. S-phase ii. Quiescent stage
c. $G _2$-phase iii. Condensation chromatin
d. $G _0$-phase iv. Protein synthesis
v. Interval between mitosis and initiate of DNA replication

  1. a-iii, b-ii, c-i, d-ii

  2. a-v, b-iv, c-i, d-iii

  3. a - v, b -i, c - iv, d-ii

  4. a v, b -ii, c-iii, d - iv

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Interphase generally lasts at least 12 to 24 hours in mammalian tissue. During this period, the cell is constantly synthesizing RNA, producing protein and growing in size. Interphase can be divided into 4 steps: Gap 0 (G0), Gap 1 (G1), S (synthesis) phase, Gap 2 (G2).
Gap 0 (G0): There are times when a cell will leave the cycle and quit dividing
Gap 1 (G1): Cells increase in size in Gap 1, produce RNA and synthesize protein.
S Phase: To produce two similar daughter cells, DNA replication occurs during this S (synthesis) phase.
Gap 2 (G2): During the gap between DNA synthesis and mitosis, the cell will continue to grow and produce new proteins.
Hence answer is 'a - v, b -i, c - iv, d-ii'
