Question

During cell growth, DNA synthesis takes place on
(a) S - phase
(b) G1 - phase
(c) G2 - phase
(d) M - phase

Answer 1

Answer:

✡(a) S-phase☑

Explanation:

In S-phase (synthetic phase) of cell cycle, the chromosomes replicate. For this their DNA molecules function as templates and form carbon copies. The DNA content doules i.e., 1C to 2C for haploid cells and 2C to 4C for diploid cells. As a result duplicate sets of genes are formed. Along with replication of DNA new chromatin fibres are formed which, however, remain attached in pairs and the number of chromosomes does not increase. As chromatin fibres are elongated chromosomes, each chromosome comes to have two chromatin threads or sister chromatids which remain attached at a common point called centromere.
