What is the main prerequisite for clearance at the G2 phase?
A
G1 checkpoint
B
G2 checkpoint
C
S checkpoint
D
M checkpoint
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The main prerequisite for clearance at the G2 checkpoint is accurate and complete DNA replication.

Detailed explanation-2: -The G2-phase checkpoint, also known as G2/M-phase checkpoint, has the function of preventing cells with damaged DNA, lasting from the G1 and S phases or generated in G2, from undergoing mitosis. The mechanisms acting during the G2-phase checkpoint converge on the inhibition of the mitotic complex CDK1-cyclin B.

Detailed explanation-3: -In order to pass the G2 checkpoint, all of the DNA must be duplicated and repaired before entering M phase.
