Question

Which of the following statements is correct?

• A. Animals can show mitotic divisions in both haploid and diploid cells
• B. After $S$ phase the number of chromosomes becomes double i.e., $2n$ to $4n$
• C. During the $G_{2}$ phase, proteins are synthesised in preparation for mitosis while cell growth continues
• D. $S$ or synthesis phase marks the period during which $RNA$ synthesis takes place.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Animals can show mitotic divisions only in diploid cells. After $S$ phase the number of chromosomes remains the same i.e., $2n. S$ or synthesis phase marks the period during which $DNA$ synthesis takes place.
