8. The answer is "d". During the synthesis stage the DNA is replicated; therefore the G2 stage will have twice the number of DNA molecules. During the G-1 stage each "chromosome"  consists of a single DNA molecule and during the G-2 stage each "chromosome" consists of two DNA molecules.

11. The answer is "d". The reason for the 92 : 46 answer is: during the G2 stage the DNA has doubled but remains attached; therefore the chromosome number remains the same but consists of two parts (chromatids) instead of a single DNA molecule.

13. The answer is "a". There are two  original DNA molecules in the G1 stage containing the genes Tt and gg. After DNA replicates during the synthesis stage, the G2 DNA molecules will have replicated of all genes - TTtt and gggg. The figure below represents the G2 stage.
