Cell Cycle

Question 9 • First Semester Biology

What is the purpose of the G2 phase of interphase? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
to copy DNA
B
to ensure DNA is copied correctly
C
to ensure the cell is the proper size
D
to allow the cell to grow if needed

Explanation

During G2, the cell checks that DNA replication was completed correctly, so B applies. It also checks whether the cell is large enough to divide and can continue growing if needed, so C and D apply. DNA is copied during the S phase, not G2, so A does not apply.
