Question

A cell has 4 picogram of DNA of G1 phase. What will be the amount of DNA in a cell in quiescent phase?

• A. 2 picogram
• B. 4 picogram
• C. 8 picogram
• D. 16 picogram

Answer 1

The correct option is B 4 picogram

The amount of DNA is same in G1 or growth 1 phase and G0 stage or Quiescent phase. In G0 stage the cell is neither dividing nor preparing to divide. In the G1 stage, only growth takes place no replication of DNA takes place. So, the amount of DNA remains the same in G1 and G0 stage.

So, the correct answer to the question is 'B) 4Picograms'.
