Solution

  1. G2 Checkpoint: This checkpoint checks whether DNA has doubled and repairs it if damaged. This is the last checkpoint before mitosis and it ensures that all chromosomes have been replicated and that the replicated DNA is not damaged.

  2. G1 Checkpoint: This checkpoint checks for cell size and DNA damage. It is the primary point at which the cell "decides" whether or not to divide. If the cell is healthy and large enough, it will enter the S phase and begin DNA synthesis.

  3. M Checkpoint (also known as the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint): This checkpoint checks whether the microtubules have attached to the centromeres of the chromosomes. This ensures that each new cell will receive one copy of each chromosome when the cell divides.

There are three checkpoints in the cell cycle responsible for detecting errors during cell replication. These are the G1 checkpoint, the G2 checkpoint, and the metaphase checkpoint.Describe the changes to a cell during metaphase.

At which of the following checkpoints will the cell cycle stop if DNA damage is detected?  Spindle checkpoint during S phase   G2 checkpoint between S and G2 phases The G2 checkpoint does check for DNA damage (due to faulty DNA replication), but it is located between G2 phase of interphase and the beginning of M (mitotic) phase. Try again.  G1 checkpoint between G1 and S phases   Mitosis checkpoint during M phase

How would you describe the relationship between crossing over and recombination?*1 pointA. Recombination is the process of homologous chromosomes swapping segments of DNA, resulting in crossing over.B. Crossing over allows the swapping of DNA segments from one homologous chromosome to another, resulting in the recombination of genes and genetic variation.C. Genetic recombination occurs when the chiasma breaks and broken chromosome segments get switched onto the other homologous chromosome, producing different combinations of alleles in the offspring.D. There is no relationship between the two.21. Ilene inherited a genetic mutation from her mother. During which stage of cell division did the mutation likely occur?*1 pointA. Prophase of mitosisB.
