The G2 checkpoint is responsible for checking if the cell's DNA has been replicated correctly and if there is any DNA damage. If the cell has accumulated DNA damage, it is unlikely to pass the G2 checkpoint and proceed with the cell cycle. Instead, it may undergo apoptosis or activate DNA repair mechanisms before entering the next phase.
