Question

You are looking at tissue under a microscope. One cell shows half the amount of DNA of some of the other cells. This cell is most likely to be in which phase of the cell cycle?

Answer 1

Cells duplicate their DNA when they commit to cell division. So if a cell has precisely half the DNA of all the other cells, has it committed itself to divide or not?

Answer 2

That's a very decent question. I think it's the metaphase. I may be wrong but the way you're describing the cell's DNA I would believe that it's true.
