Do you know what is the major evenet during the S-phase? This should eliminated four of the choice that do not have any related role with to this event. One choice has a direct role in contolling the S-phase events whereas the last remaining protein is an absolute require for DNA stability.

this paper gives the answer

Thanks Ian

I read about it. Histones is the answer. Sorry I am studying Biochemistry at med school, but was trying to solve questions before doing a good review. Sorry.
Thanks again.
