Several factors contribute to genetic stability, including:
DNA Repair Mechanisms: These mechanisms correct errors that occur during DNA replication. Cell Cycle Checkpoints: These control mechanisms ensure that cells do not proceed to the next stage of the cell cycle until previous stages are accurately completed. Telomere Maintenance: Telomeres protect the ends of chromosomes from degradation. Epigenetic Regulations: These modifications affect gene expression without altering the DNA sequence.
