CELL DIVISION AND CANCEROUS CELLS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After S phase ____
A
the cell has duplicated its organelles
B
the cell has divided
C
the cell has duplicated its DNA
D
the cell has created two egg cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In S phase, the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus. It also duplicates a microtubule-organizing structure called the centrosome. The centrosomes help separate DNA during M phase.

Detailed explanation-2: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Figure 3: DNA synthesis occurring during the S phase. After all the DNA has been unzipped and synthesized into two new DNA strands, the cell moves from this phase into the G 1 G 1 G1 phase of mitosis, or prophase I of meiosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, S stands for DNA synthesis. After the DNA is copied and there’s a complete extra set of all the genetic material, the cell moves into the G2 stage, where it organizes and condenses the genetic material, or starts to condense the genetic material, and prepares to divide. The next stage is M. M stands for mitosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -During S phase, genomic DNA is replicated and packaged into chromatin. The identical copies of each chromosome are known as sister chromatids, and they are tightly associated together through G2 phase and early mitosis.
