Question

  1. if a cell skips g2 phase, what is most likely? a dna is not checked for errors b dna cannot replicate c spindle fibers disappear d cytokinesis begins early

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The G2 phase is a checkpoint in the cell cycle where the cell checks for DNA damage and ensures that DNA replication (which occurs in S phase) is complete before entering mitosis. If the G2 phase is skipped, the cell does not perform these checks. DNA replication occurs in the S phase, so option B is incorrect. Spindle fibers form during mitosis (not related to G2 skipping in this context), so option C is incorrect. Cytokinesis is the final step of cell division (after mitosis) and not directly related to G2 skipping in the way described, so option D is incorrect.

Answer:

A. DNA is not checked for errors
