Question

If chemical signals in the cytoplasm control the progression of a cell to the M phase of the cell cycle, then fusion of a cell in G1 with a cell in early M phase would most likely result in the Group of answer choices replication of chromosomes only in the G1 cell transfer of organelles from the G1 cell to the cell in the M phase condensation of chromatin in preparation of nuclear division in both cells exiting of both cells from the cell cycle and into the G0 phase

Answer 1

condensation of chromatin in preparation of nuclear division in both cells

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis, as a type of cell division, is divided into Interphase and the Mitotic phase. The interphase further comprises of G1, S and G2 phases while the mitotic phase consists of mitosis and cytokinesis.

Mitosis is a form of nuclear division i.e. separation of genetic material (chromosome). According to this question, chemical signals in the cytoplasm control the progression of a cell to the M phase of the cell cycle.

Since what occurs in the M phase of the cell cycle is nuclear division, then fusion of a cell in G1 with a cell in early M phase would most likely result in "the CONDENSATION OF CHROMATIN in preparation of NUCLEAR DIVISION in both cells".
