What happens during the G1 and G2 phase of the cell cycle? DNA is replicated Genetic material is divided into two daughter cells Genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosomes The cell continues normal metabolism but does not grow or divide The cell produces more cytoplasmic proteins and organelles DNA damage is repaired

Which of the following is TRUE regarding the steps of the cell cycle? S phase is characterized by cell growth and metabolic activity. Chromosomes are not replicated in this phase. G2 phase is characterized by cell growth and prep for cell division. Chromosomes are replicated in a phase prior to G2. When a cell is in G1, it is not prepping or going through cell division, but is simply completing its biological functions. M phase includes only cytoplasmic division.

Which of the following events take place in the G2 stage of the cell cycle and is important in preparing a cell for division? (a) the duplication of cellular organelles, (b) the replication of genetic material, (c) the synthesis of proteins necessary for cell division, (d) cellular growth and enzyme synthesis.

What happens in the G2 phase of the cell cycle? The cell prepares for cell division. The replicated chromosomes divide. The cell enters the post mitotic phase.
