Question

The fruit fly has 8 chromosomes (2n) in each cell. During interphase of Mitosis if the number of chromosomes at G1G_1 phase is 8, what would be the number of chromosomes after S phase?

A

8

B

16

C

4

D

32

Step-by-Step Solution

In S phase there is duplication of DNA. So amount of DNA increases but not the chromosome number. So, if the number of chromosomes at G1G_1 phase is 8 in fruit fly then the number of chromosomes will be same in S phase that is 8 only.
