Question:
why does the chromosome number remain same even when the number if DNA gets doubled during S phase
Answer:
This is because, S phase is a part of the cell cycle, which is the phase of preparing the cells for an equal division (mitosis). So, following the S phase, cell division occurs, and the DNA produced during S pahse gets distributed equally between the parent and the daughter cells. This leaves the chromosome number of the cells same.
