Question: True or False. In the G1 phase of the cell cycle, a normal human somatic cell would have 23 types of chromosomes, 46 chromosomes and 92 chromatids.

Answer: False

The cell cycle bergins with the interphase which is futrher divided in to three subphases: G1 phase, S phase and G2 phase. During the G1 phase the cell grows. In the G1 phase of the cell cycle, a normal human somatic cell would have 23 types of chromosomes, 46 chromosomes and 46 chromatids. It is followed by S phase (synthesis phase). During the S phase, the cell replicates it’s chromosomes, after replication each chromosome now consists of two identical chromatids. During the G2 phase where the cell prepares for division.
