Well its more of the signals that say "dont go through mitosis" that prevents it from going through mitosis until conditions are right. this is mainly the fact that cells are so tightly squeezed together that they cannot go through mitosis until the one next to it dies or goes through apoptisis (programmed cell death). when a cell dies chemicals are released and sent to the surrounding cells to tell them to start dividing. otherwise a cell should continue dividing. though this doesnt mean cells are constantly dividing because in interphase there are various checkpoints of the cell division that tell the cell its ok to continue dividing. these checkpoints are G1, S, and G2. if the cell doesnt pass these checkpoints it goes into the G0 phase and does not divide.

What is the concept of the cell clock?

The cell clock is basically a group of molecules which appear after a cell dies. These molecules signal a cell around the area of the dead cell to replace it. After a cell is signaled then it begins the cell cycle.


What is the G1 checkpoint and where does it fit into the cell cycle?

If the cell gets the go-ahead signal at this checkpoint, it usually completes the whole cell cycle and divides. If it does not receive the go-ahead signal it enters a non-dividing phase called G0 phase.
