Once the checkpoint is passed in the cycles the cell is committed to division?
DNA replication occurs during the S phase of mitosis. Once the checkpoint S is passed in the cell cycle, the cell is committed to division.
What event occurs in G1?
The cell cycle comprises of several phases: G0, G1, S, G2, and M. At all phases, there are checkpoints to regulate cell proliferation. G0 is the resting phase. G1 and G2 are gap phases before mitosis. In G1, amino-acids and enzymes required for DNA replication are mobilized. At the G2 checkpoint, the cellâ??s readiness for mitosis is confirmed.
When does a cell make sure DNA has been copied correctly before continuing in the cell cycle?
DNA is copied (or replicated) by an enzyme called DNA polymerase. This enzyme generally operates in the 3' to 5' direction. However, this enzyme also has a 5' to 3' exonuclease activity, which enables it to remove certain wrong bases and insert correct ones. This ensure that the DNA is copied correctly
At the DNA synthesis G2 checkpoint DNA replication is checked by 1 receptor proteins 2 Repair enzymes 3 electron transport chains 4 cell surface markers?
receptor proteins
In the g1 and g2 parts of interphase the cell is?
In the G1 and G2 parts of interphase, the cell is not dividing.
What happens if a cell does not pass the g1 checkpoint?
They can actually turn into harmful cell such as cancer cells
Where does the checkpoint regulate in the cell cycle?
G1 phase, G2 phase of the cell cycle
What part of the cell cycle results in daughters cells?
G2 checkpoint
When does a cell move into the G2 checkpoint?
After the S stage
What occurs in the G2 phase of cellular division?
During this final activity of the interphase, the cell duplicates its centriole in preparation for mitosis. The "g2 checkpoint" verifies that the DNA does not need repair.

DNA replication occurs during the S phase of mitosis. Once the checkpoint S is passed in the cell cycle, the cell is committed to division.

How does a nucleus in G2 differ from a nucleus in G1?
G1 phase is when the cell grows to its mature size and G2 phase is when the cell prepares for division.
What does the cell do during G2?
during G2 of interphase there is cell growth and preparation for cell division, the cell does its job during G2

Describe the role of checkpoints in the onset of cancer?
Cell cycle checkpoints are used by the cell to monitor and regulate the progress of the cell cycle. Checkpoints prevent cell cycle progression at specific points, allowing verification of necessary phase processes and repair of DNA damage. The cell cannot proceed to the next phase until checkpoint requirements have been met. Several checkpoints are designed to ensure that damaged or incomplete DNA is not passed on to daughter cells. Two main checkpoints exist: the G1/S checkpoint and the G2/M checkpoint. G1/S transition is a rate-limiting step in the cell cycle and is also known as restriction point. An alternative model of the cell cycle response to DNA damage has also been proposed, known as the postreplication checkpoint. p53 plays an important role in triggering the control mechanisms at both G1/S and G2/M checkpoints. Impaired spindle checkpoint function has been found in many forms of cancer. The BRCA1 tumor suppressor plays a role in the activation of human chk1, therefore the posreplication checkpoint may prevent the genetic changes that lead to cancer. Mutations in factors contributing to cell cycle arrest at the restriction point are thought to be the main contributors of cancer. hope this helps!
