Overview of the Cell Cycle
Multiple Choice
During the G2 phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle, which of the following events occurs?
A
The cell replicates its DNA to produce sister chromatids.
B
The cell grows and synthesizes proteins needed for mitosis while checking that DNA replication is complete and repairing DNA damage.
C
The cell divides its cytoplasm to form two daughter cells.
D
Chromosomes align at the metaphase plate and separate to opposite poles.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the phases of the eukaryotic cell cycle: G1, S, G2, and M phases.
Recall that during the S phase, DNA replication occurs, producing sister chromatids.
Recognize that the G2 phase follows DNA synthesis and is primarily a period of cell growth and preparation for mitosis.
Identify that during G2, the cell synthesizes proteins necessary for mitosis and performs checks to ensure DNA replication is complete and repairs any DNA damage.
Note that cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis) and chromosome alignment/separation occur later during mitosis, not in G2.
