Question

Researchers took measurements of the amount of DNA per nucleus in many cells from a growing fungus sample. The measured DNA levels ranged from 4 to 8 picograms per nucleus. In what stage of the cell cycle would the nucleus contain 8 picograms of DNA? (2 points) G1 G2 M S

Answer 1

Answer:

Nucleus contain 8 picograms of DNA at Synthesis phase or  S phase

Explanation:

Synthesis phase or S phase is an important phase occuring in the Interphase of the cell cycle.

          S phase deals with replication of DNA resulting in the formation of two daughter DNA molecules from a single DNA molecule.As a result the amount genetic material or DNA is being doubled in the synthesis  phase or S phase.

          From that point of view it can be stated that the nucleus will contain 8 picograms of DNA in the S phase or Synthesis phase.
