Checkpoints in the cell cycle serve to stop the cell cycle when errors are detected, ensuring that cells do not proceed to the next stage until any issues—such as DNA damage or incomplete replication—are resolved.
Summarize the function of checkpoints in the cell cycle. (1 point)
• Checkpoints prepare the cells for organelle replication.
• Checkpoints ready the cells for genetic material replication.
• Checkpoints stop the cell cycle when errors are detected.
• Checkpoints allow complete cells to bypass stages of the cycle.
