Answer:
G2 checkpoint assesses whether the DNA has duplicated correctly without any mutations or damage.
Step-by-step explanation:
The interphase is a crucial phase in the cell cycle. The cell gets ready to enter the mitotic phase and it is important to make sure that the cell has the resources necessary to undergo mitosis. Therefore, the interphase has multiple checkpoints at all stages.
G2 Checkpoint:
- The primary function of the G2 checkpoint is to stop the cell cycle if the duplicated DNA contains any kind of mutations or damage. If the checkpoint detects any damage or mutations, either the DNA repair mechanism is initiated or the incomplete DNA replication is resumed
- A secondary function of the G2 checkpoint is to check the cell's size and protein storage.
