Destruction of both centrosomes with a laser beam in an animal cell:
1. will prevent both mitosis and cytokinesis
2. prevents cytokinesis even if mitosis has been completed normally
3. permits cytokinesis but the daughter cells fail to enter a new S phase
4. prevents mitosis but permits cytokinesis
