A reduction step during meiosis is important because:
| 1. | It returns the chromosome number to normal before fertilization |
| 2. | There is a mechanism for this |
| 3. | Only one copy of each chromosome is necessary |
| 4. | Otherwise chromosome copies would double each fertilization |
The DNA content of individual cells and the number of cells in each phase of a "cell cycle" can be determined, using flow cytometry. Which of the following combinations of "phase of a cell cycle and its corresponding DNA content" can be considered normal?
| A. | Diploid cells found in the Go or G1 phase. |
| B. | Cells with twice the normal DNA content in the early M phase. |
| C. | Cells with intermediate amounts of DNA in the S Phase. |
| D. | Cells with twice the normal DNA content in the G2 phase. |
1. A and B
2. B and C
3. C and D
