Haploid yeast cells were grown in culture and stained with propidium iodide, a fluorescent dye that is incorporated into DNA. The x axis shows DNA content, the y axis the number of cells. The DNA content analysis shows different populations of cells.

Which of the following statement is correct regarding to above graph?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. Cells with unreplicated DNA (1C) and with replicated DNA (2C). The cells between the two peaks represent cells that are in the process of undergoing mitosis.
  2.  Cells with replicated DNA (1C) and with unreplicated DNA (2C). The cells between the two peaks represent cells that are in the process of undergoing DNA replication.
  3. Cells with unreplicated DNA (1C) and with replicated DNA (2C). The cells between the two peaks represent cells that are in the process of undergoing DNA replication.
  4.  Cells with unreplicated DNA (1C) and with replicated DNA (2C). The cells between the two peaks represent cells that are in the process of arrest in G1 phase.
