G1/S checkpoint
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
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.
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.
2 Repair enzymes. At the DNA synthesis G2 checkpoint, DNA replication is checked by repair enzymes that detect and repair any mistakes in the replicated DNA before the cell progresses to mitosis. Receptor proteins, electron transport chains, and cell surface markers are not directly involved in checking DNA replication at this checkpoint.
The three checkpoints are...G1 (restriction) checkpoint: where the decision is made whether the cell will be divided, delayed division or enter the resting stageG2 checkpoint: which checks the success of DNA replication from the S phaseM checkpoint: the process of mitosis is assessed (whether it was a success)If at any time the cell doesn't pass the checkpoints, the cells stops and repairs so that it can continue along the cell cycle.
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.
A cell moves into the G2 checkpoint after completing the S phase of the cell cycle, where DNA replication occurs. The G2 checkpoint ensures that the cell has accurately replicated its DNA before entering the mitotic phase.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

Receptor proteins, electron transport chains, and cell surface markers are not directly involved in checking DNA replication at this checkpoint.
