Detailed explanation-1: -The M checkpoint is also known as the spindle checkpoint: here, the cell examines whether all the sister chromatids are correctly attached to the spindle microtubules.
Detailed explanation-2: -The G2/M checkpoint prevents DNA-damaged cells from entering mitosis and allows for the repair of DNA that was damaged in late S or G2 phases prior to mitosis.
Detailed explanation-3: -The M checkpoint occurs near the end of the metaphase stage of mitosis. The M checkpoint is also known as the spindle checkpoint because it determines if all the sister chromatids are correctly attached to the spindle microtubules.
Detailed explanation-4: -1: Internal Checkpoints During the Cell Cycle: The cell cycle is controlled at three checkpoints. The integrity of the DNA is assessed at the G1 checkpoint. Proper chromosome duplication is assessed at the G2 checkpoint. Attachment of each kinetochore to a spindle fiber is assessed at the M checkpoint.
