Hello everyone here. We have a question that says if we have a. D. N. A amount of 20 P. G. N. G. One, what will be the new DNA amount after the S. Phase during the interface stage? During the S. Phase, the genetic material is replicated from P. G. In the G. One stage so we will have 20 And it will be replicated so times two equals PG. So at the end of the s. Phase, during the interface stage there will be 40 p.g. So our answer is B. Thank you for watching. Bye.
