Variation in rates of cell division is regulated by a cell-cycle control system, which is a group of molecules, mostly proteins, within a cell that coordinates the events of the cell cycle. This control system functions through a system of checkpoints. Which assessment occurs at theG1/Scheckpoint?

A) DNA is checked for damage before entering mitosis.
B) DNA is checked for damage before cell division.
C) Correct alignment of chromosomes on the metaphase plate is checked.
D) Tension in the spindle fibers is evaluated.
E) Daughter cells are checked for replication errors.
