Vinblastine is a standard chemotherapeutic drug used to treatcancer. Because it interferes with the assembly of microtubules,its effectiveness must be related to(A) disruption of mitotic spindle formation.(B) suppression of cyclin production.(C) myosin denaturation and inhibition of cleavage furrowformation.(D) inhibition of DNA synthesis.
Which of the following events does not take place during mitosis?(a) The centromeres of the chromosomes split. (b) The nucleoli disappear, and the two centrosomes separate from one another. (c) The nuclear envelope breaks. (d) Four daughter cells are generated. (e) The chromosomes cluster at the cell’s equator.
(a) the cell cycle is divided into different phases (referred to as M, G0, G1, S and G2); Can you account for what happens during the different parts of the cycle and out of it is checked? ( b) What is the difference between apoptosis and necrosis? ( c) What are caspases and what is their function in the cell?

- . 2 3 1 4 . 5 6 I 7. .. (a) Identify the point in mitosis at which separase cleaves the protein complex that holds sister chromatid pairs together. In normal cells, separase is kept in an inactive state until it is needed. Explain how the progression of cells past sequential cell cycle checkpoints and the activity of enzymes such as separase is controlled by interactions between two major groups of regulatory proteins. (b) Identify an independent variable in the experiment graphed in Figure 1. Based on the data in Figure 1, identify a control that shows that Sepin-1 rather than something else in the culture medium is inhibiting the growth of the cancer cells. (c) Based on the data in Table 1, describe the general relationship between the sensitivity of cells to Sepin-1 and the concentration of separase in the cells. Use the Figure 1 data to calculate the ratio between the amount of Sepin-1 required to kill 50% of the cells in the cell line that is most sensitive to the compound and the…arrow_forwardAmount of DNA per nucleus over the cell division cycle.
