At the G1 checkpoint of interphase, the cell assesses whether it is ready to proceed to DNA synthesis (S phase). It evaluates factors such as cell size, nutrient availability, and DNA integrity. If conditions are favorable, the cell moves forward; if not, it may enter a resting state (G0 phase) or initiate repair processes. This checkpoint is crucial for preventing damaged DNA from being replicated.
G1 is part of the interphase. The cell cycle is: mitosis, G1, S (synthesis), G2 and finally mitosis again. G1, S and G2 are all part of the interphase.
In the G1 and G2 parts of interphase, the cell is not dividing.
G1/S checkpoint
g1
During G1 (Gap 1) of interphase, the cell grows in size, synthesizes proteins, and performs its normal functions. It is a period of preparation for DNA replication in the S phase, where the cell ensures that it has the necessary resources and energy to duplicate its DNA. Additionally, cells may also undergo a checkpoint to ensure that conditions are suitable for cell division to proceed.
If a cell does not pass the G1 checkpoint, it may enter a non-dividing phase called G0 or undergo apoptosis. This prevents the damaged cell from proceeding with the cell cycle and potentially forming tumors.
Interphase is the stage in which the cell grows, matures, and replicates its DNA. It is divided into three phases - G1, S, and G2. During interphase the cell prepares itself for cell division.

Actually, DNA synthesis occurs in the interphase stage, after the G1 checkpoint and before the G2 checkpoint, in the synthesis period, sometimes referred to as the 'S' phase, though it is not in fact a phase of mitosis, but rather a part of the Interphase as a whole. I hope this is more helpful than the previous answer of; "nobody knows IDIOT."
M to G1 and G2 to M - That answer is incorrect. The correct answer is G1 to S stage and G2 to M stage. I am 100% sure. The checkpoints are after G1, during S, and after G2. The cell cycle goes G1 (gap 1 stage of interphase) to S (synthesis stage of interphase) to G2 (gap 2 stage of interphase) to M (mitosis) to C (cytokinesis).
Cells typically spend the longest time in the interphase phase of the cell cycle, specifically in the G1 phase where they grow and carry out normal cellular functions. This phase is followed by the S phase where DNA is synthesized, then the G2 phase before finally entering mitosis.
