Answer: B) G2

Explanation: G1) first gap phase; the cell grows larger and organelles are copied

S) synthesis phase; the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus

G2) second gap phase; the cell grows more, makes proteins and organelles, and begins to reorganize its contents in preparation for mitosis

M) mitosis phase; the cell divides its previously-copied DNA and cytoplasm to make two new, identical daughter cells.

So DNA replicates in S phase but then it moves to G2

Ligases are enzymes that link two dna fragments together. Suppose a bacterium develops a mutation in the ligase gene needed for

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Cell will not replicate because of incomplete DNA replication.

Explanation:

DNA replication is crucial for reproduction/replication of any organism as it involves the duplication of genetic material. So if an organism is unable to perform proper DNA replication it would not be able to reproduce.

DNA polymerase is the enzyme that synthesize the new DNA strand in DNA replication. DNA polymerase can synthesize a strand only in 5'→3' direction. Both of the strands of DNA molecules are opposite in direction. So one strand is synthesized continuously called as leading strand while the other strand is synthesized in form of okazaki fragments called as lagging strand.

The okazaki fragments are joined together by the enzyme ligase. So if Ligase enzyme is absent in bacteria it would not be able to synthesize the lagging strand of DNA and thus could not be able to produce a replica of DNA. And if there is No replication of DNA then No replication of cell would occur.
