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?

_____________________

The daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA.
The daughter cells have half the amount of cytoplasm and half the amount of DNA.
The daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA.
The daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes and the same amount of DNA.
The daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes and twice the amount of DNA.

Carefully read the following statements about cell division (1) After meiosis, the number of chromosomes in the newly formed cell is the same as that in the parent cell. Whereas, in mitosis, the chromosome number in daughter cell is reduced to half. (2) Cytokinesis is a highly regulated event in which cellular organelles are evenly distributed forming two daughter cells. (3) In Meiosis, DNA replication occurs only once whereas the cells divide twice and it is the mechanism that produces genetic variation in daughter cells. (4) In diplotene, chiasmata are formed between homologous chromosomes followed by crossing over and segregation of sister chromatids. (5)The kinetochore is a DNA protein complex which serves as the attachment point for spindle fibers. Which of the above statement or combination of statements is correct?
