Question 34
Two key events take place, during S-phase in animal cells, DNA replication and duplication of centriole. In which parts of the cell there events occur?

Open in App

Solution

DNA replication takes place in nucleus and duplication of centriole occurs in the cytoplasm. Centriole forms spindle fibres during cell division in animal cells which direct the movement of chromosomes within the cell. The position of centriole determines the position of the nucleus arid plays a crucial role in the spatial arrangement of the cell.

Q. Assertion :Assertion: In plant cells, during S-phase, DNA replication begins in the nucleus, and the centriole duplicates in the cytoplasm. Reason: If the initial amount of DNA is denoted as 2n at

G_{1}

, even after S-phase the amount of DNA remains the same i.e., 2n.
