EXPERIMENT Experiment 1 Experiment 2 S G 1 M G 1 RESULTS S S M M When a cell in the S phase was fused with a cell in G 1, the G 1 nucleus immediately entered the S phase DNA was synthesized. When a cell in the M phase was fused with a cell in G 1, the G 1 nucleus immediately began mitosis a spindle formed and chromatin condensed, even though the chromosome had not been duplicated. 12
