G1 Phase - Status of The Genome

Status of The Genome

The DNA in a G1 diploid eukaryotic cell is 2n, meaning there are two sets of chromosomes present in the cell. The genetic material exists as chromatin and if it were coiled into chromosomes there would be no sister chromatids. Haploid organisms such as some yeasts will be 1n and thus have only one copy of each chromosome present.

Famous quotes containing the word status:

    The censorship method ... is that of handing the job over to some frail and erring mortal man, and making him omnipotent on the assumption that his official status will make him infallible and omniscient.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
