**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Somatic Cells**: Somatic cells are the non-reproductive cells in the body. They make up most of the tissues and organs, excluding the gametes (sperm and egg cells). 2. **Identifying the Type of Cell Division**: Somatic cells multiply through a specific type of cell division. The question is asking for this method of multiplication. 3. **Cell Division Process**: The type of cell division that somatic cells undergo is called mitosis. Mitosis is a process where a single parent cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells. ...

In a somatic cell cycle

DNA replication takes place in S-phase.

A short interphase is followed by a long mitotic phase

`G_2` Phase following mitotic phae

In `G_1` phase DNA content is double the amount of DNA present in the original cell

In the somatic cell cycle.

A shot interphase is followed by a long mitotic phase

`G_(2)` phase follows mitotic phase

In `G_(1)` phase DNA content is double the amount of DNA present in the original cell

DNA replication takes place is S-phase
