Agroup of cells is assayed for dna content immediately following mitosis and is found to have an average of 8 picograms of dna per nucleus. how many picograms would be found at the end of s and the end of g2?

16 picograms at the end of S phase

16 picograms at the end of g2 phase

Explanation:

At the Synthesis, S phase,

the DNA replicates to form sister chromatids for each chromosome.

Gap 2, g2

It's after S phase but before the next M phase of cell division.

prophase: we can observe the chromosomes to coil up and condense. they become visible. nuclear membrane and envelope disintigrate.s

metaphase: chromosomes align at the center, the metaphase plate. spindle fibers attach to centromeres of the sister chromatids. they meet at kinetochores.

anaphase: sister chromatids are pulled towards each opposing centromere, set on different poles.

telophase: chromosomes are now clustered up only on either sides of the cell. nuclear membranes reform, and a new cell wall forms along the cell plate. this will lead to cytokinesis, the process that divides the cell membrane and forms the cell wall.
