DNA replicates in the nucleus in this phase.
C
Centrioles duplicate in the cytoplasm.

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
During S-phase the amount of DNA per cell doubles. If the initial amount of DNA is denoted as 
then it increases to 
. However, there is no increase in the chromosome number; if the cell had diploid or 
number of chromosomes at 
, even after 
phase the number of chromosomes remains the same, i.e., 
.
