The function of checkpoints in the cell cycle is to stop the cell cycle when errors are detected, ensuring that the cell does not proceed to the next stage until any issues are resolved. This helps maintain genomic stability and prevents the propagation of damaged or incomplete genetic material.
Summarize the function of checkpoints in the cell cycle. (1 point)
• Checkpoints stop the cell cycle when errors are detected
• Checkpoints allow complete cells to bypass stages of the cycle.
• Checkpoints ready the cells for genetic material replication.
• Checkpoints prepare the cells for organelle replication.
