The fruit fly has 8 chromosomes (2n) in each cell. During interphase of Mitosis if the number of chromosomes at G1 phase is 8, what would be the number of chromosomes after S phase?

  1. 32
  2. 8
  3. 16
  4. 4

Answer

(2) 8

Solution

As per NCERT, during S phase the amount of DNA per cell doubles (2C → 4C), but there is no increase in the chromosome number.

⇒ Each chromosome now has two sister chromatids held at one centromere.

∴ Number of chromosomes after S phase = 8 (2n remains 2n).
