The document summarizes key aspects of the cell cycle and its regulation:
1) The cell cycle consists of interphase and the mitotic stage, during which the cell grows and duplicates its DNA before dividing.
2) Checkpoints ensure DNA is properly replicated before the cell commits to division or undergoes apoptosis if DNA is damaged.
3) Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes regulate the cell cycle and can mutate to cause uncontrolled cell division in cancer.
