DNA content at various cell cycle phases (C = haploid DNA content):

AG1 = 2C, S = 4C → 4C, G2 = 4C, end of M = 2C per daughter
BG1 = C
CAll same
DG1 = 2C, S = 4C, G2 = 4C, end of mitosis = 2C
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. G1 = 2C, S = 4C → 4C, G2 = 4C, end of M = 2C per daughter
Track DNA: G1 (2C, before replication). S: 2C → 4C (gradual). G2 (4C, replication complete). Mitosis: 4C divided to 2C per daughter. Chromosome count differs: 2n in G1, G2, daughters; still 2n in mitosis (counting chromosomes, not chromatids).
