Question

a cell has 6 chromosomes in g1 phase. how many dna molecules are in the cell during g1 phase?
o 6
o 3
o 12
o too many to count

Explanation:

Step1: Recall DNA - chromosome relationship in G1 phase

In G1 phase, each chromosome contains one linear double - stranded DNA molecule.

Step2: Determine number of DNA molecules

If there are 6 chromosomes in G1 phase, and each chromosome has 1 DNA molecule, then the number of DNA molecules is equal to the number of chromosomes. So, the number of DNA molecules = 6.

Answer:

6
