In the somatic cell cycle

1. In G₁ phase DNA content is double the amount of DNA present in the original cell
2. DNA replication takes place in S-phase
3. a short interphase is followed by a long mitotic phase
4. G₂ phase follows mitotic phase

Correct Option: B

DNA replication is restricted to Sphase of interphase. G₂ phase is followed by the mitotic phase which is shorter than the interphase. In G₂ phase, DNA content is double than the amount present in the original cell.
