Acell has damaged dna, which checkpoint is responsible for checking this?

Cell cycle checkpoints are essential control mechanisms that ensure proper cell division. In the cell cycle, there are two key checkpoints: the G1 checkpoint and the G2 checkpoint. The G1 checkpoint o...

Using the gas pedal analogy explain the impact on the cell cycle of one mutated tumor suppressor gene allele versus two mutated tumor

Using the gas pedal analogy, a proto-oncogene acts like an accelerator, as it promotes cell division and deregulates apoptosis. In contrast, a tumor suppressor gene functions like the brakes, as it re...
