Flashcards
Cell cycle
Cell cycle
A repeating series of growth, DNA replication, and division, ensuring proper DNA copying in dividing cells.
Apoptosis
Apoptosis
Programmed cell death, triggered when a cell's DNA has irreparable errors.
Restriction points
Restriction points
Specific control points in the cell cycle where the cell assesses its state and decides whether to proceed to the next phase.
