Question

an error occurs when the dna of a cell is copied. however, the cell does not divide after the error is detected. which statement best describes the cell cycle for this cell?
an error during the g1 phase is corrected during the g2 phase.
an error during the s phase is corrected during the g2 phase.
an error during the g1 phase is corrected during the s phase.
an error during the s phase is corrected during mitosis.

Explanation:

DNA replication occurs in the S - phase. If an error occurs during DNA copying (S - phase) and the cell does not divide after detection, it means the error is corrected during the G2 phase where the cell checks for DNA integrity before mitosis.

Answer:

B. An error during the S phase is corrected during the G2 phase.
