- In class, we talked about flow cytometry which allows scientists to determine what stage of the cell cycle cells are in by measuring their DNA content. Draw what the graph would look like for the mutant below at a 0-time point when there are 1000 cells total, with 5000 cells in G1, 350 cells in M and G2, and 150 cells in S phase. And then a graph of 1 hour later when the cells should have competed for mitosis: → loss of function of cdc25arrow_forwardResearchers studying cell cycle regulation in budding yeast have observed that a mutation in the CDC15 gene causes cell cycle arrest in telophase when the yeast cells are incubated at an elevated temperature. Which of the following statements best predicts the effect of the cell cycle arrest on proliferating yeast cells? A. Restate the question and record the right answer. B. Why is this the correct answer?arrow_forwardWhich of the following describes what happens at the end of the M phase and before the G1 phase of the cell cycle?arrow_forward
- Examine the picture of an onion root tip with cells in various stages of the cell cycle. A student claims that interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle. Another student claims that mitosis is the longest stage. Using evidence from the photo, determine which student is correct and why A)mitosis is the longest stage because anaphase requires more time to separate chromatids B) interphase is the longest stage because chromosomes are visible in the majority of the cells C) mitosis is the longest stage because the majority of the cells in the photo are replicating their dna D) interphase is the longest stage because the majority of the cells in the photo have uncondensed chromatin and are not dividingarrow_forwardGive two examples of events that can regulate the cell cycle externally.arrow_forwardModify the diagram above to illustrate specific protein(s) that would participate in regulating this pathway if DNA damage was detected in these cells. What effect would this have on the progression of the cell cycle? If there is more than one possible outcome be sure to outline each one.arrow_forward
- In a cell cycle Select one: a. DNA is replicated and passed to homologous chromosomes during interphase b. DNA is replicated and passed to daughter cells during mitotic phase c. DNA and RNA are replicated and passed to parent cells during interphase d. DNA and RNA are replicated and passed to sister chromatids during mitotic phasearrow_forwardScientists 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?arrow_forwardIf you were to look at a sample of “normal” cells, what phase of the cell cycle do you think most of the cells would be in?

- One approach to studying the regulation of cell cycle progression (particularly in an era when genetic and molecular biology manipulations were less readily accomplished in mammalian cells) was to use treatments that induced cells to fuse and then monitor the behavior of the two nuclei in the resulting cell. The figure below depicts data from one such study. The investigators did preliminary work to produce populations of cells that were synchronized in various stages of the cell cycle (G1, S, or G2 in the examples shown below). They then fused the cells in different combinations and monitored subsequent events in each of the nuclei. For purposes of this question, we will pay particular attention to what occurred in the nucleus that came from the cell in G1. In one experiment (I), cells in the G1 and S phases were fused. That event caused the nucleus from the G1 cell to very quickly enter the S phase (sooner than it would otherwise have done so). In contrast, in a second experiment…arrow_forwardResearchers determined the average amount of time that a particular eukaryotic cell spends in each phase of the cell cycle. The data collected by the researchers are represented in Figure 1 of the video. Based on Figure 1, what percent of the time required to complete a full cycle do the cells typically spend in interphase? A. Restate the question and record the right answer. B.
