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?
cancer -----

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?
