A somatic cell that has just completed the S phase of its cell cycle, as compared to gamete of the same species, has:NEET 2015 (Phase 1)

Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

S-phase (synthesis phase) is the part of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated, but a number of chromosome does not change.

If a cell is diploid then after S phase DNA content in the cell will be 4 C and Chromosome in the cell will be 2 N.

While in a gamete,

DNA content in gamete = C

Chromosome in gamete = N

Hence, the Number of chromosome in a somatic cell will be twice than gamete while DNA content will be four times.
