Using polyethylene glycol (PEG),early G1 phase cells were fused with S phase cells.Of the following events,which would you expect to be induced in the G1 cells as a result of the fusion?

Question

Fusion of G1 phase cells with S phase cells would result in the transfer of S phase cell cytoplasmic material including proteins, enzymes and resources required for DNA synthesis. Hence, the G1 phase cells would be triggered to undergo DNA replication. The other events listed (cytokinesis, condensation of chromosomes, mitosis, spindle fiber formation) are not likely to occur in G1 cells as a result of fusion with S phase cells.
