Question

you are studying cell cycle progression in an early frog embryo. if you were to inject a protein synthesis inhibitor into this cell during s phase, where do you predict the cell would arrest? multiple choice g1 telophase metaphase g2

Explanation:

The S - phase is followed by the G2 phase in the cell cycle. Protein synthesis is required for the cell to progress from S - phase to G2 - phase. If protein synthesis is inhibited during S - phase, the cell will arrest in S - phase and not be able to move to G2 - phase as it cannot complete the necessary preparations for mitosis.

Answer:

G2
