The answer is autosomes.

<span>In a human diploid somatic cell (2n), there are 22 chromosomes present in two copies and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. This means there are 23 pairs of chromosomes - 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. There are in total 46 chromosomes (23 pairs in 2 copies: 23 × 2 = 46).</span>

Gwar [14]

Answer:

During translation, tRNA (transfer RNA) molecules match a sequence of three nucleotides in the mRNA to a specific amino acid, which is added to the growing polypeptide chain. RNA primers are not used in protein synthesis. RNA primers are only needed to initiate a new strand of DNA during DNA replication.

During which phase of the cell is a cells DNA copied

MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

Hi there!

Cell cycle has 2 phases (i.e M-phase and Inter-phase). Interphase is considered to be the longest phase. Interphase also has G1-phase, S-phase and G2-phase. In cell cycle while moving from M-phase it has two option either to go in G1-phase or G0 phase. It it goes to G0-phase it doesn't go under cell division but if it goes to G1-phase it starts to prepare materials required to replicate or copy DNA. After preparing all the material it goes in S-phase and copies DNA. It doesn't go to G2-phase until it copies DNA perfectly. Then it goes to G2-phase. In this phase it prepares material for replication of other cell organelles.

Therefore, DNA is copied in S-phase.

Hope it helps!
