How do cells control their growth and division?

• Checkpoint proteins stop a cell from dividing until it is ready

• White blood cells make sure only stem cells divide

• Cells wait until other cells divide to start dividing

• DNA polymerase is necessary to replicate DNA

How can damage to DNA lead to cancer?

• Damage to DNA can affect the production of checkpoint proteins.

• Damage to DNA can change a cell's function

Why are there multiple checkpoints in the cell cycle?

• To increase the number of cells produced.
• To allow for random mutations.
• To prevent a cell from dividing if one of the checkpoints fails.

• To speed up the cell cycle process.
