Question

You are carrying out experiments in cell fusion by fusing together cells at different stages of the cell cycle. You then observe the behavior of each nucleus residing in the combined cytoplasm of the two cells. Which of the following results reflects what would occur if you fused a G_2 cell to a cell in the M phase? The nucleus from the G_2 cell would start to replicate its DNA. The G_2 chromosomes would undergo premature chromosome compaction. The G_2 chromosomes would decondense. The G_2 chromosomes would be elongated and would consist of only one chromatid each.

Explanation / Answer

During M phase of the cell division, chromosme compaction proteins are presents which compact chromosome to Chromatids which make easy for cells to divide the chromosome such that each of the daughter cells has an equal number of chromosome.

SO the option will be B. The G2 chromosome would undergo premature chromosome compaction
