Question 2%0D%0AIn a unipuppicorn, the somatic cells must make more cells in order to grow. If its somatic cells contain 18 chromosomes (as chromatin), how many chromosomes will it have at the end of the "S" phase
During the "S" (synthesis) phase of the cell cycle, DNA replication occurs. This means that each chromosome is duplicated, resulting in two identical sister chromatids connected at the centromere. Therefore, at the end of the "S" phase, each somatic cell in the unipuppicorn will have 36 chromosomes (18 pairs of sister chromatids).
