Acell biologist determines that diploid cells from a particular species of grasshopper contain 200 picograms of dna per cell during the g2 stage of interphase. based on this finding, how many picograms of dna should be present in a single cell from this species during metaphase i of meiosis? (enter the number only, not the units.)

The correct answer will be- 200

Explanation:

The cell cycle in eukaryotes mostly takes place in four phases: G₁, S, G₂ and M phase in sequence.

The DNA replication takes place during S phase which doubles the amount of DNA in a cell after which during M- phase the DNA divides into the daughter cell.

The amount of DNA present during G₂ phase is the 200 pg which will remain same until anaphase I as the segregation of chromosomes to the daughter cells takes place in the anaphase. Therefore, the amount of DNA observed after G₂ phase will remain 200 pg till metaphase I.

Thus, 200 is the correct answer.

answer; i believe that the correct answer is; ///bodies of water store heat during the day and release it at night;

poor water quality affects most estuarine organisms, including commercially important fish and shellfish. the pollutants that have the greatest impact on the health of estuaries include toxic substances like chemicals and heavy metals, nutrient pollution (or eutrophication), and pathogens such as bacteria or viruses.
