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

How often does DNA replication occur in a cell's life cycle?

DNA replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle, which happens before cell division. This process typically occurs once in each cell cycle.


What is the family of molecules that control the cell cycle called?

The family of molecules that control the cell cycle is called cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). These molecules regulate cell cycle progression by activating or inhibiting key processes at different checkpoints throughout the cell cycle.


What happens to the DNA in prophase of the cell cycle?

During prophase of the cell cycle, the DNA condenses and coils tightly to form visible chromosomes. This process helps to organize and prepare the DNA for cell division.


The timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells is controlled by a group of closely related proteins known as?

The timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells is controlled by a group of closely related proteins known as cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). These proteins regulate the progression through different phases of the cell cycle by phosphorylating specific target proteins. The levels and activity of cyclins and CDKs fluctuate throughout the cell cycle, ensuring precise control of cell division.


During which stage is DNA replication evaluated to see if the cell is ready to move on with mitosis?

The cell cycle is controlled by three internal checkpoints that evaluate the cell to the next stage in the cycle can be halted until conditions are favorable.

What happens in the cell cycle?

During the cell cycle, a cell grows prepares for division & divides to form two daughter cells, each of which then begins the cell cycle all over again.


What is the general name of the proteins that internally regulate the cell cycle?

NOTHING happens within a cell that is not under the STRICT control of [proteinaceous] ENZYMES. Both structural and functional, all enzymes have ON and OFF switches that are, not too surprisingly, controlled by other proteins, which are themselves, in turn, Governed by The Cell Cycle: which begins when the Cell's cell-size-of-growth-indicators say-time-to-divide.
