Document Summary
Cell cycle: series of cellular events leading to division and duplication (replication). How many mg of dna g1, how much is in dna g2. Mitosis: divides replicated dna equally and precisely in somatic cells. Required for sexual reproduction in eukaryotes, such as animals, plants, and fungi. The number of sets of chromosomes is reduced to half the original number. Typically from two sets (diploid) to one set (haploid). Cytokinesis: is the process in which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells. Usually initiates during the late stages of mitosis, splitting a mitotic cell in two. Ploidy: the number of sets of chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell. Haploid number: the number of chromosomes in a gamete. Diploid zygote: is two two gametes with twice this number (2n) Karyotype: the number and appeatance of chromosomes in the nucleus of eukaryotic cell.

Suppose that a cell in G1 contains 10 picograms (pg) of DNA. How many picograms would you expect to find in this same cell during G2?
Note that a picogram (pg) is a measured quantity/mass. Think about how the amount of DNA changes as the cell progresses from G1 to G2.
Suppose that a single somatic cell undergoes mitosis and cytokinesis. If you compared the original parent cell in G1 with the daughter cells that are produced, which of the following statements would be true?
