The blanks (not words).

A cell has 6 chromosomes during G1. During G2 it has
How many chromatids and
strands of DNA?

Answer 1

In the G2 phase, a cell initially with 6 chromosomes will have 12 chromatids and 24 strands of DNA.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a cell has 6 chromosomes during the G1 phase, then after DNA replication in the S phase, and during the G2 phase, it will have 12 chromatids. In G2, each of the original 6 chromosomes will have been replicated into a pair of sister chromatids, making a total of twelve. As for the strands of DNA, since each chromatid is composed of a double-stranded DNA molecule, the cell will have 24 strands of DNA (12 chromatids each with 2 strands of DNA).

Answer 2

Answer:Neuronal cells in G2 phase demonstrate tetraploid (4N) DNA content or, more precisely, possess a nucleus with 46 replicated chromosomes.

Explanation:In the G1 phase, there are 12 chromosomes. In the S-phase of the cell cycle, the amount of DNA gets doubled. There is doubling of the chromatids but the chromosomes number remains same. The number of chromosomes in the G2 phase will be same as 12 chromosomes and the number of chromatids will be 24.
