Question #190044
When cell division is complete, what cell cycle checkpoints will occur before the cell moves into interphase?
Expert's answer
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.
