Question

what will be the amount of dna in a somatic cell at g2 phase if its haploid cells have 40 pg of dna?

Answer 1

The meiotic products having haploid(n) set of chromosome have been stated to have 20 PG of DNA.

So the normal somatic cell(2n) would have double the amount of DNA i.e., 40 PG.

Since the cell is in G2 phase of somatic cell cycle, it DNA content would be doubled whereas the chromosome number would remain the same.

So, I guess the answer would be 80 PG of DNA.

(P.s. I might be wrong.)

Suggestions are warmly welcomed.

Cheers !

Answer 2

Answer:

It will 80pg DNA

Explanation:

As meiotic is a haploid (ex. n) the parental chromosome will be diploid (ex.2n) therefore the parental will contain 40pg DNA.

But in G2 phase it's gets doubled to 80pg DNA.

: In meiosis in M phase the reductional division take place later on
