16. Analyse the events during every stage of cell cycle and notice how the following two parameters change
(ii) amount of DNA content (C) per cell
The amount of DNA content per cell changes during S phase and anaphase. In S phase, the number of chromosomes remains same but DNA replicates. Due to DNA replication, the content of DNA doubles up from 1C to 2C or from 2C to 4C depending on whether the cell is diploid or haploid. In anaphase II, the DNA Content decreases to one half from 2C to 1C.
