Checkpoints

• G0

• G1

• Synthesis (S)

• G2

• Mitosis (M)

GO

This is the resting phase. Cells either stay here temporary or permanent.

Ex; A cell reaches the end stage of development and won't divide again

G1

Cell increase in size, produce RNA, and synthesize proteins. In its checkpoint, it makes sure everything is ready for DNA sythesis.

S

The DNA replication

G2

Between the S and M phase, the cell will continue growing and make proteins. This stage makes sure if the cell can enter mitosis.

M

Cell growth and protein making stop. All energy is focused on making the two daughter cells.
