Answer:

10. A cell that has 5 chromosomes in the G1 phase will have chromatids in the G2 phase.

Step-by-step explanation:

G1, S and S2 are phases in the Interphase of the cell cycle

In G1 the cell is preparing itself for the cell division. in S all chromosomes are replicated. In G2 all chromosomes are already replicated, that is, with an extra copy. This extra copy is a sister chromatide.

The chromosomes in G1 are made up of a single chromatide, therefore if a cell has 5 chromosomes, the cell will have 5 chromatides in G1. After replication, each chromosome will have two chromatids, therefore a cell with 5 chromosomes will have 10 chromatids in G2.
