Cell Cycle Phases. Indicate whether each of the following statements is true of the G1 phase of the cell cycle, S phase, G2 phase, or M phase. A given statement may be true of any, all, or none of the phases.
- (a) The amount of nuclear DNA in the cell doubles.
- (b) The nuclear envelope breaks into fragments.
- (c) Sister chromatids separate from each other.
- (d) Cells that will never divide again are likely to be arrested in this phase.
- (e) The primary cell wall of a plant cell forms.
- (f) Chromosomes are present as diffuse, extended chromatin.
- (g) This phase is part of interphase.
- (h) Mitotic cyclin is at its lowest level.
- (i) Cdk proteins do not play a role in this phase.
- (j) A cell cycle checkpoint has been identified in this phase.

- Rb is a negative regulator that blocks the cell cycle at the G1 checkpoint until the cell achieves a requisite size. What molecular mechanism does Rb employ to halt the cell cycle?arrow_forwardObjective: To review the phases of mitosis with the understanding that in a real tissue or a non-synchronized cell culture, different mitotic phases and cells in interphase will be observed at a certain time. Interphase is the period between mitotic events; all other phases are part of mitosis and their individual probabilities add up to the total probability of seeing cells undergoing mitosis. Pay attention to the individual probabilities for cells in each phase of the cell cycle. Problem N° 10 For a certain type of animal tissue, the probability of a randomly selected cell being in a particular stage of the interphase/mitosis cycle is given by the following table: Stage Probability Interphase 0.5 Prophase 0.1 Metaphase 0.05 Anaphase 0.2 Telophase 0.15 Suppose you examine 100 cells at random from this tissue.

- Which statements are true? Explain why or why not.1 Since there are about 1013 cells in an adult human,and about 1010 cells die and are replaced each day, webecome new people every three years.2 In order for proliferating cells to maintain a rela-tively constant size, the length of the cell cycle must matchthe time it takes for the cell to double in size.3 While other proteins come and go during thecell cycle, the proteins of the origin recognition complexremain bound to the DNA throughout.4 Chromosomes are positioned on the metaphaseplate by equal and opposite forces that pull them towardthe two poles of the spindle.5 Meiosis segregates the paternal homologs intosperm and the maternal homologs into eggs.6 If we could turn on telomerase activity in all ourcells, we could prevent aging.arrow_forwardMITOSIS: Why is each cell stage a prerequisite to the next?arrow_forwardIn your own words, restate the three tenets of cell theory Describe the distinctive properties of the four major classes of carbon-based macromolecules: lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, and nucleotides.
