A cell biologist carefully measured the quantity of DNA in grasshopper cells growing in cell culture. Cells examined during the G2 phase of the cell cycle contained 200 units of DNA. What would be the amount of DNA in one of the grasshopper daughter cells

Respuesta :

Oseni

Answer:

100 units

Explanation:

The mother cell contains 200 units of DNA. During cell division, this amount is split between the daughter cells produced and each daughter cell will receive half of the amount of DNA present in the parent cell.

Since mitotic cell division process gives rise to 2 daughter cells, each daughter cell will receive 100 units of DNA.
