NEET · Biology · STD 11 - 10. Cell cycle and cell division
In \('S'\) phase of the cell cycle
- A amount of \(DNA\) doubles in each cell
- B amount of \(DNA\) remains same in each cell
- C chromosome number is increased
- D amount of \(DNA\) is reduced to half in each cell.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) amount of \(DNA\) doubles in each cell
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(a) : In \('S'\) phase of cell cycle the \(DNA\) content doubles, \(i.e.\), \(1\ C\) to \( 2 \ C\) for haploid cells and \(2\ C\) to \(4\ C\) for diploid cells. However, the number of chromosomes does not increase.

- Given below are two statements :
Statement I : In the RNA world, RNA is considered the first genetic material evolved to carry out essential life processes. RNA acts as a genetic material and also as a catalyst for some important biochemical reactions in living systems. Being reactive, RNA is unstable.
Statement II: DNA evolved from RNA and is a more stable genetic material. Its double helical strands being complementary, resist changes by evolving repairing mechanism.

- Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion \(A\) and the other is labelled as Reason \(R\). Assertion \(A\): The potential ( \(V\) ) at any axial point, at \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) distance ( \(r\) ) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector \(\vec{P}\) of magnitude, \(4 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{m}\), is \(\pm 9 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~V}\). (Take \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9 \mathrm{Sl}\) units) Reason \(R\): \(V= \pm \frac{2 P}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}\), where \(r\) is the distance of any axial point, situated at \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) from the centre of the dipole.
