Diagram of a hypothetical series of mutations that might lead to cancer development. In the first step, an initial mutation inactivates a negative cell cycle regulator. In one of the descendants of the original cell, a new mutation takes place, making a positive cell cycle regulator overly active.
In Summary: Control of the Cell Cycle. Each step of the cell cycle is monitored by internal controls called checkpoints. There are three major checkpoints in the cell cycle: one near the end of G 1, a second at the G 2 /M transition, and the third during metaphase. Positive regulator molecules allow the cell cycle to advance to the next stage.

Dec 27, 2021 · Understand how the cell cycle is controlled by mechanisms both internal and external to the cell. Explain how the three internal control checkpoints occur at the end of G 1, at the G 2 /M transition, and during metaphase. Describe the molecules that control the cell cycle through positive and negative regulation.

Progress through the cell cycle is regulated. The cycle can be controlled or put on ‘pause’ at any one of several phase transitions. Such checkpoints monitor whether the cell is on track to complete a successful cell division event. Superimposed on these controls are signals that promote cell differentiation.
Aug 6, 2015 · In “Control in biological systems” section the most basic and generic notion of control is explained, together with the role that different forms of control play in the constitution of a biological organisation (thermodynamic control, kinetic control, spatial control, etc.).
Thus a cell can control the proteins it makes by (1) controlling when and how often a given gene is transcribed (transcriptional control), (2) controlling how the RNA transcript is spliced or otherwise processed (RNA processing control), (3) selecting which completed mRNAs in the cell nucleus are exported to the cytosol and determining where in ...
