○ g2 checkpoint
○ m checkpoint
○ i checkpoint

Brief Explanations
  • G1 checkpoint: Checks for cell size, nutrients, growth factors, and DNA damage.
  • G2 checkpoint: Checks for DNA replication completeness and DNA damage.
  • M checkpoint (also known as the spindle - assembly checkpoint): Ensures that all chromosomes are properly attached to the spindle microtubules before the cell enters anaphase.
