In general, what is the purpose of a checkpoint in the cell cycle?

Expert Solution

The checkpoint's main purpose is to regulate the cell division because if cell division is not regulated, it will lead to cancer, or if the cell division takes place incorrectly, it will lead to genetic disorders.

1. Which checkpoint and phase of the cell cycle is the expression of BRCA1 and BRCA2 the greatest? What is the function of BRCA1 and why would it make sense that its expression is high at the checkpoint/phase of the cell cycle? 2. Outline the two parts of the eukaryotic cell cycle and describe the three main checkpoints in cell cycle regulation.

What is the cell cycle and how does the cell move through the different phases of the cell cycle? A complete answer will describe the phases and the molecular mechanisms that allows cells to progress from one phase to another.

Phases of the cell cycle:

Phases of the cell cycle: - __________ (cell growth and function, copying of chromosomes in preparation for cell growth and division). -___________ (mitosis and cytokinesis). Mitosis = move one copy of each chromosome to two ends of the cell and then _____________________________.
