How many chromatids does a human somatic cell contain after interphase and just prior to mitosis?

A. 184
B. 46
C. 92
D. 23
E. 69
F. 22

Answer :

C) 92 chromatids does a human somatic cell contain after interphase and just prior to mitosis.

The synthesis phase (S phase) of interphase in the cell cycle is when the DNA in a human somatic cell is replicated. Each of the 46 chromosomes in the cell then consists of two sister chromatids, which are identical copies connected by a centromere. After interphase and just before mitosis, a human somatic cell contains 92 chromatids as a result of DNA replication.
