Skin cells that are exposed to UV radiation will commonly experience DNA damage (mutations). Considering what you know about cell cycle checkpoints, at what stage of the cell cycle will a skin cell with damaged DNA arrest? a. G2 b. Anaphase c. G1 d. S phase
Added by Jennifer M.
Step 1
During the G1 phase, the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication. In the S phase, DNA replication occurs. The G2 phase is another period of growth and preparation for cell division. Show more…

You are studying the control of the cell cycle using human somatic fibroblast (skin) cells. If you expose them to a protein synthesis inhibitor during S phase, in what phase of the cell cycle would you expect them to arrest? Multiple Choice G2 G1 Anaphase metaphase

If a cell cannot replicate DNA correctly and this leads to many errors in DNA replication, where would the cell cycle most likely stop? a. the cells would arrest at the M phase checkpoint b. the cell would arrest at the S phase checkpoint c.the cell would go into the resting G0 phase d. the cell would arrest at the G1 checkpoint
