Front Outline the role of checkpoints to control the cell cycle.
Back Role of checkpoints:
  • Ensures that a cell only divides when it has grown to the right size
  • Ensures that the replicated DNA is error free
  • Ensures that chromosomes are in correct positions during mitosis
Summary: ensures fidelity of cell division (that two identical daughter cells are created from the parent cell)
