a. In what stage of the cell cycle do you suppose a cell might be when it exits the cell cycle and enters
b. The cell cycle is controlled by checkpoints, cyclins, and CDKs. Describe how biochemical events involving cyclins and CDKs might control passage of a dividing cell through the cell cycle.

"Agent V" is the name of an anticancer (chemotherapy) drug. This drug works against cancer cells by inhibiting the formation of microtubules in sensitive cells.
Consider a cell that is sensitive to agent V (in other words, agent V is effective at stopping growth of this cell). Based on this information, agent V would cause the cell to be frozen at which of the major cell cycle checkpoints (G1, G2 or M checkpoint)? Explain
What cellular mechanism(s) ensure that passage through
the cell cycle is unidirectional and irreversible? What mo-lecular machinery underlies these mechanism(s)?
Explain why we can say that M-phase of the cell-cycle is triggered by a positive feedback loop.
a) What would the consequences be if cohesins were working normally but condensins were not? and b) what stage of the cell cycle would this cause problems in?
Why is it important for the centrosome to duplicate during G1-G2 (interphase) before M phase?
The kinetochores serve as a link between the sister chromatids and the microtubules attached to the mitotic spindle. a) How are microtubules still able to exhibit dynamic instability after they are bound to the sister chromatids and b) why is this important to mitosis?
As the name suggests, the Anaphase-promoting-complex (APC), promotes the 4th phase of mitosis by separating the sister chromatids so they can travel to separate poles of the cell, and prevents them from being re-zipped together. Describe how APC does these two things (Hint: one involves M-cyclin and the other involves…

- 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.

- When studying living cells in a laboratory, researchers sometimesuse drugs as a way to cause cells to remain in a particular phaseof the cell cycle. For example, aphidicolin inhibits DNA synthesisin eukaryotic cells and causes them to remain in the G1 phasebecause they cannot replicate their DNA. In what phase of thecell cycle—G1, S, G2, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, or telophase—would you expect somatic cells to stay if the followingtypes of drug were added?A. A drug that inhibits microtubule formationB. A drug that allows microtubules to form but prevents themfrom shorteningC. A drug that inhibits cytokinesisD. A drug that prevents chromosomal condensationarrow_forwardSometimes 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.

- BPA is a chemical compound that has historically been used in themanufacture of plastic products. However, cells often mistake BPAcompounds for hormones that accelerate the cell cycle. Because ofthis, BPA is associated with an increased risk of certain cancers.
