Summary
The
M Checkpoint
, also known as the
Spindle Assembly Checkpoint
, is a crucial control mechanism in the
Cell Cycle
that ensures chromosomes are properly aligned and attached to the
Spindle Apparatus
before anaphase begins. This checkpoint prevents
Chromosome missegregation
, thereby maintaining
Genomic Stability
and preventing aneuploidy, which can lead to cancer and
Other diseases
.
