Second check point of cell cycle lies between
Options
- AG 1 and S phase
- BS and G 2 phase
- CG 2 and M phase
- DM and G 1 phase
Correct answer
C. G 2 and M phase
Step-by-step solution
Checkpoints are internal controlling mechanisms in the cell cycle. Due to these checkpoints, the cell cycle is monitored at various stages. There are three major checkpoints seen. The first is as the G 1 phase ends. Second is when G 2 ends and the cell is about to enter the Mitotic phase. The third is during the metaphase. The first checkpoint checks whether the conditions are suitable for cell division to place or not. If the conditions are not proper the cell will be arrested and will enter the G 0 phase instead
