Suppose that, at the beginning of interphase in G₁, a cell has 36 chromosomes. How many chromosomes would be found in that same cell in G₂ of interphase?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the S phase of interphase, DNA replication occurs, resulting in the duplication of each chromosome. Therefore, the number of chromosomes doubles from G1 to G2. Since the cell has 36 chromosomes in G1, it would have 72 chromosomes in G2.
