Important Questions on Cell Cycle
A cell is destined to complete cell cycle

Initially if a triploid cell of G1 phase undergoes cell division with 40pg DNA content, then what will be the amount of DNA and number of chromatids during metaphase in that cell? [Given, 3n = 36]

The following graphs (A and B) depict changes in DNA content during cell cycle. Identify the cell division from A and B.

Assertion (A): The amount of DNA in the cell undergoing mitotic cell division is doubled during the S-phase.
Reason(R): It happens due to the doubling of the chromosome number in the S-Phase of interphase.
The correct option among the following is:

Most variable time is for _____ phase.
