Question

What happens in the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

A. The cell prepares for cell division.

B. The replicated chromosomes divide.

C. The cell enters the post mitotic phase.

Answer 1

Your answer is After DNA replication, the cell leaves S phase and enters G2, when the cell prepares for mitosis or meiosis. At the G2 checkpoint, the cell checks two things. First, it checks DNA for any damage that might have occurred during replication. It also ensures all the proteins needed for cell division are present.

Answer 2

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

G-2 phase represents the 3rd sub-phase of inter-phase that occurs within the cell cycle. It takes place right after the mitosis cell division process and successful completion of S-phase where DNA replication takes place in the cells.

The cell continuously grows and expands, and thereby produces new types of proteins during the time between synthesis of DNA and mitosis cell division. By the end of this time, there occurs the G-2 checkpoint that checks whether the cell can enter into the Mitosis cell division or not.

Thus, it can be concluded that the cell prepares for the cell division process in the G-2 phase of the cell cycle.

hence, the correct answer is option (A).
