Answer:
The correct answer will be- 200
Explanation:
The cell cycle in eukaryotes mostly takes place in four phases: G₁, S, G₂ and M phase in sequence.
The DNA replication takes place during S phase which doubles the amount of DNA in a cell after which during M- phase the DNA divides into the daughter cell.
The amount of DNA present during G₂ phase is the 200 pg which will remain same until anaphase I as the segregation of chromosomes to the daughter cells takes place in the anaphase. Therefore, the amount of DNA observed after G₂ phase will remain 200 pg till metaphase I.
Thus, 200 is the correct answer.
DNA is essentially a storage molecule. It contains all of the instructions a cell needs to sustain itself. These instructions are found within genes, which are sections of DNA made up of specific sequences of nucleotides. In order to be implemented, the instructions contained within genes must be expressed, or copied into a form that can be used by cells to produce the proteins needed to support life.
The instructions stored within DNA are read and processed by a cell in two steps: transcription and translation. Each of these steps is a separate biochemical process involving multiple molecules. During transcription, a portion of the cell's DNA serves as a template for creation of an RNA molecule. (RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is chemically similar to DNA, except for three main differences described later on in this concept page.) In some cases, the newly created RNA molecule is itself a finished product, and it serves an important function within the cell. In other cases, the RNA molecule carries messages from the DNA to other parts of the cell for processing. Most often, this information is used to manufacture proteins. The specific type of RNA that carries the information stored in DNA to other areas of the cell is called messenger RNA, or mRNA.
How does transcription proceed?
Transcription begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA template strand and begins assembling a new chain of nucleotides to produce a complementary RNA strand. There are multiple types of types of RNA. In eukaryotes, there are multiple types of RNA polymerase which make the various types of RNA. In prokaryotes, a single RNA polymerase makes all types of RNA. Generally speaking, polymerases are large enzymes that work together with a number of other specialized cell proteins. These cell proteins, called transcription factors, help determine which DNA sequences should be transcribed and precisely when the transcription process should occur.

The manila grasshopper has several benefits to ecosystem and humans.
- In general it facilitates decomposition and regrowth of plants by creating a balance between the types of plants that grow well.
- Like other animals, grasshopper eats and excretes in the soil. Its waste increases the fertility of the soil and promotes plant growth.
- Grasshopper body is rich in protein, on its death microorganisms break down its body and enrich the soil and helps plants to grow.
- Grasshoppers prevent over growth of plants as it consume about 10% of the available plant biomass, thus maintain ecological balance.
