Mark Yourself Question
  1. Grab a piece of paper and try this problem yourself.
  2. When you're done, check the "I have answered this question" box below.
  3. View the solution and report whether you got it right or wrong.
A fluorescent dye that binds to DNA is added to a population of proliferating cells. The amount of fluorescence is directly proportional to the amount of DNA found in each cell. The following graph is generated:
Indicate on the graph where cells in each phase of the cell cycle (G1,S,G2,M)(G_1,S,G_2,M) are represented
More The Cell Cycle Questions:
Complete the following table:
In which of the following phases is DNA replicated?
For G1 phase, the checkpoint requires that
For G2 phase, the checkpoint requires that
Phase
DNA is replicated during _______ phase
Cells prepare for division in the ___ phase
In which phase do chromosomes become fully condensed?
What are the two major phases of the cell cycle?
Which of the following can be found in diploid cells in G1 phase?
Cats are 2n=382n=38. A somatic cat cell stuck in G2 phase would have how many chromatids?
DNA replication in S phase can be observed using nucleotides that have been tagged with a radioactive or fluorescent label. Why would you need to be careful when choosing which nucleotide to label?
Practice: Cell Cycle
Draw a somatic cell that is n=5 in G1 phase and G2 phase.
If a cell contained 4 chromosomes during prophase, how many chromosomes and chromatids would it have during prometaphase?
How can FACs be used to quantify the amount of cells in different phases of the cell cycle?

Indicate on the graph where cells in each phase of the cell cycle (G1,S,G2,M)(G_1,S,G_2,M) are represented
Which of the following statements are CORRECT?
1. Mitotic events can be observed with a light microscope
2. Sister chromatids are generated during prophase
Practice: Mitosis
Complete the following table based on a cell that is 2n=12
Practice: Cell Cycle 2
A cell is 2n=82n=8and has the genotype a2/a2, b1/b2, c1/c2, d2/d2. Draw the cell:
a) in "G1 phase"
b) At "metaphase"
Practice: Genome 2
A diploid cell that is 2n = 4 receives a2, b2, and c2 alleles from one parent, and a1, b2, and c2 alleles from the other parent. Alleles a and b are on the same chromosome, while allele c is on another one. Draw the resulting cell after DNA replication (after S phase).
Practice: Genome 1
A haploid cell has the genetic formula n=8n=8. Draw how the cell would look after DNA replication (after S phase).
C-values
A somatic cell in G2 of the cell cycle has a c-value of 20pg.
What is the content in pg of the same cell in G1 phase of the cell cycle?
What is the c-value in pg of the species that this cell came from?
Capsella bursa-pastoria and Capsella grandiflora are two very closely related species. Flow cytometry analysis shows that somatic cells in G1 phase of C. bursa-pastoria cells contain a 0.80 pg of DNA, while C. grandiflora has 0.44 pg.
What does this suggest about the ploidy of these two species?
What would the C-value of these two species be?
Cell cycle
In order, what are the phases of the Mitotic (M) phase of the cell cycle?

In order, what are the phases of of interphase?
