Explanation
Cell cycle checkpoints are control mechanisms that ensure the proper progression of cell division. If these checkpoints malfunction or are hampered, cells may divide uncontrollably, leading to diseases such as cancer. Checkpoints help maintain genomic integrity by preventing damaged or incomplete DNA from being passed on to daughter cells.
