If a cell has accumulated DNA damage,it is unlikely to _____.
A)pass the G₂ checkpoint
B)activate DNA repair mechanisms
C)enter G₁ from mitosis
D)synthesize cyclin-dependent kinases

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cells typically undergo DNA damage checkpoint processes during the G₂ phase of the cell cycle. Accumulated DNA damage will trigger the cell cycle arrest, preventing the cell from passing the G₂ checkpoint until the DNA damage has been repaired. Therefore, it is unlikely that the cell will pass the G₂ checkpoint if it has accumulated DNA damage.
