Status of The Genome
The DNA in a G1 diploid eukaryotic cell is 2n, meaning there are two sets of chromosomes present in the cell. The genetic material exists as chromatin and if it were coiled into chromosomes there would be no sister chromatids. Haploid organisms such as some yeasts will be 1n and thus have only one copy of each chromosome present.
