Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which cell cycle checkpoint makes sure that chromosomes are duplicated and checks for damage of the replicated DNA?
A
G1 checkpoint
B
S checkpoint
C
G2 checkpoint
D
M checkpoint
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The G2 checkpoint ensures all of the chromosomes have been replicated and that the replicated DNA is not damaged before cell enters mitosis. The M checkpoint determines whether all the sister chromatids are correctly attached to the spindle microtubules before the cell enters the irreversible anaphase stage.

Detailed explanation-2: -G2/M checkpoints include the checks for damaged DNA, unreplicated DNA, and checks that ensure that the genome is replicated once and only once per cell cycle. If cells pass these checkpoints, they follow normal transition to the M phase.

Detailed explanation-3: -The G1/S checkpoint prevents cells from replicating damaged DNA, whereas the G2/M checkpoint prevents cells from dividing with damaged DNA [18].

Detailed explanation-4: -The primary G1/S cell cycle checkpoint controls the commitment of eukaryotic cells to transition through the G1 phase to enter into the DNA synthesis S phase.

Detailed explanation-5: -M checkpoint – nuclear division setup check It is also called the spindle checkpoint because the cell examines whether all sister chromatids are correctly attached to the spindle microtubules that separate them. If not, the cell pauses mitosis until all sister chromatids have been attached in the right way.
