Question

Paxitol is check point inhibitor used for cancer treatment where it stops the mechanism of DNA replication. What do you think in which point of the cell cycle it will work? Why?

Definition Definition Mechanism by which deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is capable of producing an exact copy of itself. DNA molecules utilize a semiconservative method for replication. DNA replication is the most essential part of biological inheritance and is crucial for cell division during growth and repair of damaged tissues.

If there is inhibition to the DNA synthesis, what specific cell cycle will be affected? Will the cell dies because of such occurrence? Yes or No?
If a mad scientist hands you a cell culture with 100 cells that just entered g1. He needs to extract the MOST possible DNA from 100 cells. On top of that, he requires that the DNA cannot be condensed. To accomplish this goal he gives you a set of chemicals that will stop a cell in any part of the cell cycle you want. What part of the cell cycle would you stop the cell at, that matches those requirements?
How can errors in the cell cycle lead to cancer in humans?
Biologists have long been interested in the effects of radiation on cells. In one experiment, researchers examined the effect of radium on mitosis of chick embryo cells growing in culture. A population of experimental cells was examined under the microscope for the number of cells in telophase (as a measure of mitosis occurring) before, during, and after exposure to radium. The results are shown in the Figure. What is the effect of radium exposure on mitosis? Source: R. G. Canti and M. Donaldson. 1926. The effect of radium on mitosis in vitro.

Scientists are able to isolate cells in various phases of the cell cycle. During an experiment in which Dr. Patrick McGroyn is causing cultured tumor cells to go through mitotic cell division, he isolates a group of cells that contain one and a half times more DNA than cells isolated in the G1 phase have. What phase must these cells be in? How do you know?

Sometimes a cells "deal with" damaged DNA by just killing off the cell. This special cellular suicide is called apoptosis. Usually, the cell cycle has checkpoints that prevent damaged/mutated cells from proceeding to the next phase, though. When these checkpoints don't work, apoptosis can be used. If apoptosis did NOT occur, how might the damaged DNA impact the rest of the cell cycle? A. it may not complete the cell cycle correctly B. new cells containing damaged DNA may be made C. the cell may enter G0 D. all of the above are options E. A and B, but not C F. B and C, but not A
