Cells in the G₁ phase of the cell cycle contain half as much DNA as cells in the G₂ phase.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The G₁ phase of the cell cycle is the G1 (gap 1) phase, where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication. The G₂ phase is the S (synthesis) phase, where DNA replication occurs. Therefore, cells in the G1 phase have not yet replicated their DNA and contain half as much DNA as cells in the S phase, making answer A true.
