Question

you are studying cell cycle progression in an early frog embryo. if you were to inject a protein synthesis inhibitor into this cell during s phase, where do you predict the cell would arrest? multiple choice telophase g₁ metaphase g₂

Explanation:

The cell cycle has checkpoints ensuring proper progression. Injecting a protein synthesis inhibitor during S phase (DNA replication) prevents making proteins needed for the next phase. G₂ phase requires new proteins to enter mitosis; without them, the cell arrests at G₂.

Answer:

G₂
