The cell cycle is an ordered series of events involving cell growth and cell division that produces two new daughter cells.
Explain how the three internal control checkpoints occur at the end of G 1, at the G 2–M transition, and during metaphase.How do the daughter cells compare to the original cell? How does the cell ensure that each daughter cell gets a complete set of genetic information? (IMPORTANT: You do NOT need to memorize the steps of mitosis!)
