amount of DNA doubles in each cell.
amount of DNA remains same in each cell.
chromosome number is increased
amount of DNA is reduced to half in each cell
To solve this problem, we need to understand what happens during the 'S' phase of the cell cycle. Let's analyze each option:Option 1: amount of DNA doubles in each cell. - During the 'S' (synthesis) phase, the cell replicates its DNA. - This means that the amount of DNA in the cell doubles, preparing the cell for division. - Therefore, this option is correct.Option 2: amount of DNA remains same in each cell. - This is incorrect because the DNA is replicated during the 'S' phase, so the amount of DNA does not remain the same.Option 3: chromosome number is increased. - The chromosome number does not increase during the 'S' phase. - Instead, each chromosome is duplicated, resulting in sister chromatids, but the number of chromosomes remains the same.Option 4: amount of DNA is reduced to half in each cell. - This is incorrect because the DNA is not reduced during the 'S' phase; it is doubled.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1: \text{amount of DNA doubles in each cell.}
