Step 1
Introduction :
A multicellular organism's life cycle includes a crucial process called cell death. Cell death is the process by which a biological cell stops functioning. Cell death occurs by 2 ways ; Apoptosis and Necrosis.

- "Agent V" is the name of an anticancer (chemotherapy) drug. This drug works against cancer cells by inhibiting the formation of microtubules in sensitive cells. Consider a cell that is sensitive to agent V (in other words, agent V is effective at stopping growth of this cell). Based on this information, agent V would cause the cell to be frozen at which of the major cell cycle checkpoints (G1, G2 or M checkpoint)?
