After the S stage
There are typically four checkpoints in the cell cycle: the G1 checkpoint, G2 checkpoint, metaphase checkpoint, and the spindle checkpoint. These checkpoints help ensure that each stage of the cell cycle is completed accurately before progressing to the next stage.
Checkpoints in the cell cycle regulate key points in the cell division process, including the G1/S checkpoint, the G2/M checkpoint, and the metaphase/anaphase checkpoint. These checkpoints ensure that critical cellular events, such as DNA replication and chromosome segregation, are accurately completed before proceeding to the next phase of the cell cycle. Failure to pass these checkpoints can result in cell cycle arrest or initiation of apoptosis.
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.
well the mitosis checkpoint is right before anaphase, meaning at the end of metaphase right befoer it is about to split. So i suppose whenever it enters metaphase then it will undergo the checkpoint. This checkpoint is extremely importnant for the cell and makes sure there are no mistakes before the cell reproduces.
During the G2 stage of cell division, the cell undergoes further growth and prepares for mitosis by replicating organelles and checking for DNA errors through a process called the G2 checkpoint. This stage ensures that the cell is ready for mitosis before it proceeds to divide.

G2 checkpoint
There are typically four checkpoints in the cell cycle: the G1 checkpoint, G2 checkpoint, metaphase checkpoint, and the spindle checkpoint. These checkpoints help ensure that each stage of the cell cycle is completed accurately before progressing to the next stage.

These checkpoints ensure that critical cellular events, such as DNA replication and chromosome segregation, are accurately completed before proceeding to the next phase of the cell cycle. Failure to pass these checkpoints can result in cell cycle arrest or initiation of apoptosis.
Just before a cell enters the G2 stage of the cell cycle, it completes the S phase, during which DNA replication occurs, resulting in two complete sets of chromosomes. Following DNA synthesis, the cell enters a checkpoint phase that ensures all DNA has been accurately replicated and repaired, if necessary. This checkpoint is crucial for maintaining genetic stability before the cell proceeds to mitosis. After passing this checkpoint, the cell transitions into G2, where it prepares for division.
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.
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 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
Before M Phase
Once the checkpoint is passed in the cell cycle, the cell is committed to progressing through the next phase of division. The checkpoint ensures that the cell has accurately completed its previous phase before moving on to the next stage of the cell cycle. This helps maintain the integrity of the cell division process.
