D) beta are in the G0 phase
E) beta is a plant cell and gamma is an animal cell

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The S phase is when DNA replication occurs, so if there's a difference in the S phases between beta and gamma, it suggests a difference in the amount of DNA being replicated. Since the question implies a difference but doesn't specify what data accompanies it, the most logical conclusion based on typical S phase characteristics is that gamma contains more DNA than beta, as the S phase duration or characteristics might vary with the amount of DNA to be replicated.
