What happens in the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

The Best Answer :
 <span>"G2 phase is the third, final, and usually the shortest subphase during interphase within the cell cycle in which the cell undergoes a period of rapid growth to prepare for mitosis. It follows successful completion of DNA synthesis and chromosomal replication during the S phase, and occurs during a period of often four to five hours. This far into interphase the nucleus is well defined, bound by a nuclear envelope and contains at least one nucleolus. Although chromosomes have been replicated they cannot yet be distinguished individually because they are still in the form of loosely packed chromatin fibers. The G2 phase prepares the cell for mitosis (M phase) which is initiated by prophase. 
At the end of this gap phase is a control checkpoint (G2 checkpoint) to determine if the cell can proceed to enter M phase and divide. The G2 checkpoint prevents cells from entering mitosis with DNA damaged since the last division, providing an opportunity for DNA repair and stopping the proliferation of damaged cells. Because the G2 checkpoint helps to maintain genomic stability, it is an important focus in understanding the molecular causes of cancer."</span>

Surviving in the Antarctic is extremely difficult What advantage do Emperor Penguins have that animals in the less-harsh Arctic
Savatey [412]
Emperor penguins have the ability to 'recycle' their own body heat. The arteries and veins lie close together so that blood is pre-cooled on the way to a penguin's feet, wings and bill and warmed on the way back to the heart. Emperors' feet are adapted to the icy conditions

What is the single most important factor in determining the temperature of a region?
Vladimir79 [104]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Geographical location is the single most important factor in determining the temperature of a region.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The location of an area and its surrounding environment is most important in its temperature determination. As the area located near to the ocean has a low temperature. And areas which are far away from the waters and there is low precipitation which means low rain. It indicates the higher temperature areas.

Elevation of region, height from the sea level also affects the temperature of region.

How does capillary action help sustain life on earth?
Yakvenalex [24]
Answer: A - Uptake of food and water by plants

The xylem vessels in the roots of the plants use the mechanism of capillary action and work against gravity to pull water molecules and nutrients from the soil and carry them upwards to the leaves of the plant to provide nourishment to the plant.
