Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The G₂ stage of the cell cycle represents the end of the S phase, where DNA replication has occurred, and each chromosome is now composed of two identical sister chromatids. Therefore, cells in this stage will have twice as many chromatids as cells in the G₁ stage, which represents the end of the G1 phase where each chromosome consists of a single chromatid. The number of chromosomes remains the same throughout the cell cycle.
