<span>Since alkylating agents work to prevent the cell from replicating its genetic material, the cell would most likely stop at the interphase checkpoint, which is the phase before mitosis (which consists of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase). During interphase, the cell replicates its genetic material (DNA), but this would be prohibited by alkylating agents.</span>
Answer:d)introns; exons
Explanation:Introns are the non-coding portion of the DNA. They do not code for a gene that can be expressed hence the need for them to be removed from the coding genes(Exons). The exons are then joined together after the introns have been removed to create a sequence of amino acids.
