Question

An error occurs when the DNA of a cell is copied. However, the cell does not divide after the error is detected. Which statement best describes the cell cycle for this cell?. A) An error during the G1 phase is corrected during the G2 phase. B) An error during the S phase is corrected during the G2 phase. C) An error during the G1 phase is corrected during the S phase. D) An error during the S phase is corrected during mitosis.

Answer 1

Assuming all the information above is correct, I believe the correct answer will be B).

First of all since error occurs when DNA of a cell is copied, that happens during S phase, so making B and D the more likely correct answer. Then in the cell cycle, there are checkpoints at phases to ensure one cell has successfully completed the first phase before moving on to the next phase, so tht being said, after S phase is G2, so B will be the more likely answer.
