    control mechanism ensuring accurate completion of cell cycle stages

    A cell cycle checkpoint is a control mechanism in cells that ensures each stage of the cell cycle is completed accurately before moving on to the next stage. These checkpoints help prevent errors, such as DNA damage or incomplete replication, from being passed on during cell division, which is crucial for maintaining healthy tissue and preventing diseases like cancer.
