A)half
B)twice
C)exactly
D)one-fourth
E)four times

Accepted Answer

The cell has progressed from the G1 phase to the S phase, where DNA synthesis occurs. During S phase, the cell duplicates its DNA, so the amount of DNA in the cell would now be twice as much as it was in the previous phase.

A skin cell in G2 of interphase has _____ as much DNA as it had in G1.

A skin cell in G₂ of interphase has _____ as much DNA as it had in G₁.
