Question

cells pass through a g2 checkpoint before entering mitosis. ideally, if dna damage is detected, the cells do not enter mitosis until the damage is repaired. why is dna damage repaired before cells enter mitosis? a so that another round of dna synthesis does not have to take place b so that the cytoplasm can be divided equally between the two daughter cells c so that healthy daughter cells are produced, allowing the organism to continue growing d so that the chromosomes can align at the metaphase plate during mitosis

Explanation:

El daño en el ADN puede causar mutaciones y problemas en la división celular. Si las células entran en mitosis con ADN dañado, puede resultar en células hijas con errores genéticos. Arreglar el daño en el ADN antes de la mitosis asegura que las células hijas sean saludables y funcione correctamente el organismo.

Answer:

C. So that healthy daughter cells are produced, allowing the organism to continue growing
