There are many points during the cell cycle when the process of division may stop because of a problem. Sometimes the process doesn't stop. Summarize the function of apoptosis in the cell cycle.

to destroy damaged or old cells -----

When mutated cells ignore checkpoints, they reproduce uncontrollably, forming tumors. During which stage of the cell cycle does the cell divide into two cells?

M -----

Some cells ignore cell cycle checkpoints and continue to grow and divide uncontrollably despite cellular or genetic damage. What disease may directly result from such behavior?

Checkpoints stop the cell cycle when errors are detected. -----

A cell contains DNA damage that causes it to undergo apoptosis before reaching mitosis. This cell had twice the amount of DNA for a cell of this type. During which checkpoint did this cell trigger apoptosis?
