If a cell in S phase is fused with a cell in G1:
1. The G1 nucleus immediately enters the S phase
2. The S nucleus stops DNA replication
3. The G1 nucleus directly enters G2 phase
4. Both nuclei enter the M phase immediately

A cell passes the G1/S transition. This cell will:
1. be allowed to replicate DNA only if there is adequate nutrients and growth signaling.
2. progress through S-phase even if environmental conditions become unfavorable.
3. become quiescent if the environmental conditions become unfavorable.
4. not be subjected to any control check point during the completion of the cycle.
