In mitosis, three major check points are built into the cell cycle. These checkpoints make sure that certain criteria are met before proceeding to the next step

Explain the major responsibilities of the checkpoints between the following steps: between G1 to S, between G2 to mitosis, and between metaphase to anaphase.


At the juncture of G1 to S: ensures that the cell's DNA is suitable for replication. At the juncture of G2 to mitosis: ensures that DNA has been completely and accurately replicated. Between metaphase and anaphase: ensures that all the chromosomes are attached to the spindle and aligned properly at the equator of the cell.
