CELL CYCLE

Cells that rarely divide will spend most of their time in what particular phase of the cell cycle?

• Go

• G1

• G2

• S

This check point of the cycle dictates whether the cell will continuously divide or stop, and it also checks the cell size, presence of growth factors and damage of the DNA.

• G₁ checkpoint

• G₂ checkpoint

• S checkpoint

• M checkpoint

In this phase, the cell is preparing for the cell division in the mitotic stage.

• Go

• G1

• G2

• S
