Question

Many eukaryotic cells can be grown in tissue culture in the laboratory. Suppose you have two tissue cultures, one in G1 phase and one in S
phase. How would you determine which culture was in G, and which was in S?

Answer 1

I could look for growth and synthesis of proteins and other macromolecules as well as increase in organelles, which would show a culture in G1. DNA being synthesized would show in cells in the S phase.
