A) Summarize the function of checkpoints in the cell cycle. (1 point)

Checkpoints prepare the cells for organelle replication.
Checkpoints stop the cell cycle when errors are detected.
Checkpoints ready the cells for genetic material replication.
Checkpoints allow complete cells to bypass stages of the cycle.

Checkpoints in the cell cycle serve to stop the cycle when errors are detected and ensure that the genetic material is properly replicated. They do not prepare the cells for organelle replication or allow complete cells to bypass stages of the cycle.
