CELL DAMAGE

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: -As at the G1 checkpoint, cell size and protein reserves are assessed. However, the most important role of the G2 checkpoint is to ensure that all of the chromosomes have been replicated and that the replicated DNA is not damaged.

Detailed explanation-2: -The G2/M checkpoint prevents cells from entering mitosis when DNA is damaged in order to afford these cells an opportunity to repair the damaged DNA before propagating genetic defects to the daughter cells. If the damage is irreparable, checkpoint signaling might activate pathways that lead to apoptosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
