9.3: Cell Cycle Control

Which molecules act as gatekeepers for each checkpoint of the cell cycle?

• p53 gene

• cyclins and cycline-dependent kinases

What is the first checkpoint of the cell cycle?

• Mitosis checkpoint

• G₁ checkpoint

• G₂ checkpoint

When is apoptosis initiated?

• When DNA damage is repaired.

• When cells are removed from the cell cycle.

• When DNA damage cannot be repaired.
