Question

15 cells pass through a g₂ checkpoint before entering mitosis. ideally, if dna damage is detected, the cells do not enter mitosis until the damage is repaired. why is dna damage repaired before cells enter mitosis? a so that healthy daughter cells are produced, allowing the organism to continue growing b so that the chromosomes can align at the metaphase plate during mitosis c so that the cytoplasm can be divided equally between the two daughter cells d so that another round of dna synthesis does not have to take place

Explanation:

La reparación del daño en el ADN antes de la mitosis asegura que las células hijas resultantes sean saludables y genéticamente idénticas a la célula madre. Esto es esencial para el crecimiento, el mantenimiento y la reproducción del organismo.

Answer:

A. So that healthy daughter cells are produced, allowing the organism to continue growing
