Question

a biologist treats a cell with a certain chemical that inhibit the cell ability to synthesise DNA
if this cell is treated to undergo the process of the cell cycle which phase is affected. give two reasons.

Answer 1

If the cell treated with a chemical that inhibits DNA synthesis is treated to undergo the process of the cell cycle, the phase that will be affected is the S-phase of interphase.

What is interphase?

The interphase stage of cell division is the resting stage between two successive divisions.

The interphase is further grouped into three phases namely:

• G1 phase
• S-phase or synthesis phase
• G2 phase

The synthesis phase of interphase is the stage where new DNA strand is synthesized, hence, if the cell treated with a chemical that inhibits DNA synthesis is treated to undergo the process of the cell cycle, the phase that will be affected is the S-phase of interphase.
