Question

a population of proliferating cells is stained with a dye that becomes fluorescent when it binds to dna, so that the amount of fluorescence is directly proportional to the amount of dna in each cell. to measure the amount of dna in each cell, the cells are then passed through a flow cytometer, an instrument that measures the amount of fluorescence in individual cells. the number of cells with a given dna content is plotted on the graph below. indicate on the graph where you would expect to find cells that are in g1, s, g2, and mitosis. which is the longest phase of the cell cycle in this population of cells?

Answer 1

Answer: the cell cycle progress as G1, S, G2 and M phase, during S phase DNA replicates, so cells in G2 phase contain the double amount of DNA compared to cells
