Question

DNA molecules are not distinct but intertwined​

Answer 1

The S and G2 phases of interphase are followed by prophase which is the first stage of mitosis. The new DNA molecules generated are not distinct but intertwined in the S and G2 phases.

Answer 2

• DNA molecules as shown in images are little distinguishable packets. We need to keep in mind that these images are for referencing and understanding rather than for literal representation.
• DNA molecules, are bunch of interwoven strands of genetic thread held or linked in certain bundles.
• These strands usually contain very important genetic material which influence multiple outcomes - somatic and genetic.
• Thus it is easier if the genetic material is intertwined rather than distinct.
