Activites within the cell cycle are monitered and controlled at specific stages, or checkpoints. Checkpoints in the life of a cell are like checkpoints during a mountain bike race. Officials monitor racers to ensure that competitors have enough water and food and that no one is hurt. If an official thinks a racer cannot compete the race because of injury, the racer will be removed from the race. Checkpoints during the cell cycle have a similar function. Special proteins at these checkpoints monitor cell activities and send this information to the nucleus. The nucleus then instructs the cell whether or not to divide. Cellsb will not divide if:
- There are not enough nutrients to support cell growth.
- DNA within the nucleus has not been replicated.
- DNA ia damaged.
Overall, it could create some uncontrolled cell division and mutations which could create huge problems.

What would happen if the cell went through mitosis but not cytokinesis?
Cell division would not occur.
What happens if the cell cycle is not controlled?
If cell division were not controlled, there would be unrestricted over growth of cells to form a shapeless mass of cells called a tumor. Uncontrolled cell growth is called cancer
What is the cell division controlled by?
Cell division is the process of dividing a cell into two daughter cells with the same genetic material. It is controlled by proteins in the cytoplasm, such as the cyclins, Cyclin-dependent kinases and anaphase-promoting complexes.
What would happen to each cell if the DNA was not copied during interphase?
Without two identical sets of chromosomes, cell division can not successfully occur.
What would happen if you had a cell in the water and molecules were in the cell and some were out the cell what would most likely happen after a period of time?
what would happen if you had a cell in water and molecules were in the cell and some were out of the cell what would most likely happen after a period of time?
What would happen to cell division if a chemical was put in the cell the did not allow for cell division to occur?
UGH~
What would happen if the cell went through mitosis but not cytokinesis?
Cell division would not occur.
What would happen to the chromosomes in each cell if copies of them were not made before cell division?
There would be no life
What will happen to a cell if the nucleus is absent?
Cell division would not take place and genetic material would not pass on to the next generation.
The timing and events of cell division are highly controlled by what?
Regulartory Protein
What might happen if the amount of water entering and leaving the cell were not controlled will the cell swell or shrink?
The cell membrane and all its organelles would burst.
What can happen if a cell were to get too large for amount of DNA it has?
Cell division
What happens if the cell cycle is not controlled?
If cell division were not controlled, there would be unrestricted over growth of cells to form a shapeless mass of cells called a tumor. Uncontrolled cell growth is called cancer
What is cell division controlled by?
Genes called proto-oncogenes stop a cell from dividing too often.
Which of these would BEST describe what would happen to a cell in a time of low nutrient supply?
The cell's growth would slow down significantly, leading to longer periods of time between cell division.
