Chapter 2.2, Problem 8COQ

Summary Introduction

To explain:

The checkpoints present in a cell cycle.

Introduction:

Checkpoints can be referred as regulatory points in a cell cycle. The cell cycle is the series of incidences occurring during the cell division and during DNA duplication. The cell division takes place in various phases, and checkpoints occur between these phase.

Summary Introduction

To describe:

The importance of checkpoints in the cell cycle.

Introduction:

The cell division takes place in two phases: interphase and the mitosis. The interphase is further divided into three stages: G1, S, and G2. The mitosis starts after G2 phase. The checkpoints play an important role in the regulation of cell division to stop the formation of abnormal cells.
