The correct answer is: True

Cell cycle checkpoints play a critical role in ensuring that cells divide only when necessary and that errors in the process of cell division are minimized. These checkpoints are control mechanisms that monitor the integrity of the cell cycle at various stages. They help prevent the progression of the cell cycle if there are issues such as DNA damage, incomplete DNA replication, or improper chromosome alignment.

For example:

1.G1 checkpoint checks for DNA damage before entering the S phase (DNA synthesis).
