Question:

The checkpoint in cell cycle plays important role in Repairing DNA damage. Apoptosis initiation. Assessing DNA damage. None of the above.

Apoptosis initiation.

None of the above.

Assessing DNA damage.

Repairing DNA damage.

Solution:

The correct option is C Assessing DNA damage. Cell cycle checkpoints act as a control mechanism during cell division in a eukaryotic cell. They are essential to ensure proper cell division. Each point acts like a potential checkpoint where the cell conditions and condition of DNA are assessed and only then the further process takes place. There are two checkpoints in a cell division- the G1 and G2 stage.
