A somatic cell that has just completed the S phase, compared to a gamete, has:
Correct answer: A. Twice the chromosomes & four times the DNA
- A. Twice the chromosomes & four times the DNA
- B. Four times the chromosomes & twice the DNA
- C. Twice the chromosomes & same DNA
- D. Same chromosomes & twice the DNA
Explanation
After S-phase, diploid somatic cell has replicated DNA: 2x chromosomes and 4x DNA content compared to gametes.
