Hi everyone here we have a question that says during cell division NPF is activated at the end of G two phase by the enzyme phosphate taste identify which of the following happens during the activation process. A. It will remove the inhibitory phosphate group B. It will add a phosphate group C. It will produce the necessary phosphate molecules, or D. It will adjust the number of phosphate molecules. It will have to remove the inhibitory phosphate group so that um I saw my topic. Cell division process can proceed and complete. So our answer is A. It will remove the inhibitory phosphate group. Thank you for watching. Bye.
