A cell in the phase has picograms of DNA. How much DNA will be present in each daughter cell after mitosis?
- A. picograms
- B. picograms
- C. picograms
- D. picograms
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: B — picograms
Solution
- The cell in phase has pg of DNA, representing the replicated state ().
- Mitosis divides the cell into two identical daughter cells.
- Each daughter cell receives half of the total DNA content.
- Calculation: .
- Hence the answer is (B).
