Scientists have studied a fruit fly, Drosophila, to better understand early embryonic development and have discovered that the c
ell cycle changes as embryonic development proceeds. Model A represents the first 13 cell cycles after fertilization, which only includes two phases. Model B represents cell cycles 14 through 16, which are more complex and include a G2 phase. The figure shows two circular models, labeled Model A and Model B, that represent the cell cycle of fruit flies after fertilization. Model A represents cell cycles 1 through 13, and it contains two phases. Model B represents cell cycles 14 through 16, and it contains three phases. What of the following explains the advantage of a G2 phase during embryonic development?
A Cells can undergo the cell cycle more quickly with a G 2 phase.
B Cells can replicate more DNA with a G2 phase.
C Cells are checked for DNA damage before entering mitosis with a G2 phase.
D Cells are able to produce two new daughter cells with a G2 phase.
C. Cells are checked for DNA damage before entering mitosis with a G2 phase.
Explanation:
G2 phase is very important phase of cell division in which cells are checked for DNA damage before entering mitosis with a G2 phase as well as correct duplication of the DNA is also verified and cell proteins that are necessary for cell division are also produced. This phase comes after S stage in which replication of DNA occurs so this G2 phase check the damages before starting of mitosis.
The RNA codon will be GAU, pairing Cytosine-Thymine-Adenine DNA codon with Guanine-Adenine-Uracil RNA codon. This codon is the Amino Acid, Aspartic Acid. In this codon we see Uracil which is the counterpart of Thymine in the RNA.
