Temporarily pauses the cell cycle for DNA repair
Which protein is involved in the Apoptosis Checkpoint?
Survivins
What is the function of Telomerase in relation to telomeres?
Prevents telomere shortening
Why do most cancer cells arise according to the text?
Mutation leading to improper protein production
What is the role of Spindle Assembly Checkpoint in cell division?
Ensures chromosomes are properly attached to spindle fibers
How does the Apoptosis Checkpoint affect cell fate?
