Video transcript

Hi everyone here We have a question asking during this phase, D. N. A. Is replicated, producing replicated chromosomes with two sister chrome attitudes. G one phase. That is incorrect, G two phase. That is incorrect in phase. That is incorrect. S. Phase. That is correct. And here's what it looks like. We start with our cell with our chrome zones and it will end up looking like this With two sister chroma tides. So that is S. Fe. So our answer is D thank you for watching. Bye.
