What is the term for all the stages of the cell cycle except for Mitosis?

• Interphase

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

Where do you find checkpoints in the cell cycle?

• Only after G1 and G2

• Only after S phase

• Only after G2

• After each phase

What is the purpose of the checkpoints in the cell cycle? Select all that apply:

• To regulate the process and check for abnormalities

• Prevent water from entering the cycle

• Prevent unhealthy cells from continuing on the the cycle

• Prevent uncontrolled growth
