The correct answer is:
The number of chromosomes remains the same after S-phase, but the amount of DNA becomes double.
S phase is the phase of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated, occurring between the G1 phase and G2 phase. Since accurate duplication of the genome is critical to successful cell division, the processes that occur during S-phase are tightly regulated and widely conserved.
