Q. What change would occur in DNA content, during S-phase?

A) No change
B) The amount of DNA per cell doubles
C) The amount of DNA per cell increase four folds
D) The amount of DNA per cell decreases
Explanation

It the initial amount of DNA is denoted as 2C, then it increases to 4C. In the $G_{1}$-phase of interphase, the cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but do not replicate its DNA S or synthesis phase marks the period during which DNA synthesis or replication takes place. During this time, the amount of DNA per cell gets double
