Answer to Question #190044 in Cell Biology for Tino

Question

When cell division is complete, what cell cycle checkpoints will occur before the cell moves into interphase?

Answer 1

Damage to DNA and other external factors are evaluated at the G1 checkpoint; if conditions are inadequate, the cell will not be allowed to continue to the S phase of interphase. The G2 checkpoint ensures all of the chromosomes have been replicated and that the replicated DNA is not damaged before cell enters mitosis.
