Isabella · Answer 1

An error during the S phase is corrected during the G2 phase.

Explanation:

Why the S Phase Is Important

DNA synthesis must occur rapidly, as the unpaired base pairs of the DNA strand during replication are vulnerable to harmful mutagens, which can lead to genetic abnormalities, cell disease or even cell death
