Question
19. The G2 checkpoint of the cell cycle triggers the start of mitosis. It is dependent upon the
presence of cyclin. Cyclin production begins in the S phase and continues through the G2
phase. It is not the presence of cyclin alone. However, that allows the cell to pass the G2
checkpoint. Cyclin must first bind with kinase to form the following complex, an accumulation of
which triggers mitosis.
A. Cyclin-dependent complex
B. Cyclin-kinase complex
C. Mitosis progression factor
D. Maturation promotion factor

Expert Solution
Step 1

A cyclin-dependent kinase complex (CDKC, cyclin-CDK) is 

  • a protein complex generated by combination of an inactive catalytic subunit of a protein kinase, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), with a regulatory subunit, cyclin.
  • When the formed state is generated, it becomes the active state and dictates to carry out meiosis.
