Question:
In the somatic cell cycle
In the somatic cell cycle
Updated On: Oct 12, 2023
DNA replication takes place in S-phase
A short interphase is followed by a long mitotic phase
G2 phase follows mitotic phase
In G1 phase DNA content is double the amount of DNA present in the original cell
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The somatic cell cycle pertains to the cell cycle occurring in non-reproductive cells. This cycle encompasses just two main phases: interphase and the M phase. Interphase, in turn, includes three distinct stages: G1 phase, S phase, and G2 phase. During the S phase, DNA replication occurs, priming the cell for the upcoming division process.

- An oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litre has 18.20 moles of oxygen. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, its gauge pressure drops to 11 atmospheric pressure at temperature \(27^\circ\)C. The mass of the oxygen withdrawn from the cylinder is nearly equal to: [Given, \(R = \frac{100}{12} \text{ J mol}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}\), and molecular mass of \(O_2 = 32 \text{ g/mol}\), 1 atm pressure = \(1.01 \times 10^5 \text{ N/m}^2\)]

Cells
- A device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy is called an electric cell. To an electric circuit, the battery provides the constant electromotive force.
- Each cell comprises 2 half cells which are connected in series by a conductive electrolyte containing anions and cations:
- One-half cell is made up of electrolyte and a negative electrode called an anion.
- The other half cell is made up of electrolytes and a positive electrode called a cathode.
- Redox reactions take place simultaneously.
- While charging, cations are reduced at the cathode, and anions are oxidized at the anode.
- Electrodes do not join each other as they are electrically connected by the electrolyte.
