Scientists have studied a fruit fly, Drosophila, to better understand early embryonic development and have discovered that the cell cycle changes as embryonic development proceeds. Model A represents the first 13 cell cycles after fertilization, which only includes two phases. Model B represents cell cycles 14 through 16, which are more complex and include a G2 phase. The figure shows two circular models, labeled Model A and Model B, that represent the cell cycle of fruit flies after fertilization. Model A represents cell cycles 1 through 13, and it contains two phases. Model B represents cell cycles 14 through 16, and it contains three phases. What of the following explains the advantage of a G2 phase during embryonic development?
A Cells can undergo the cell cycle more quickly with a G 2 phase.
B Cells can replicate more DNA with a G2 phase.
C Cells are checked for DNA damage before entering mitosis with a G2 phase.
D Cells are able to produce two new daughter cells with a G2 phase.
