Introduction:
Cell cycle is an essential process by which cells increase in number while maintaining its genetic stability. In an organism, it is vital for growth and regeneration. However, it has to be tightly regulated to avoid dire consequences. Unregulated repetitive cell division may lead to cancers that may prove detrimental to the organism. On the other hand, infrequent divisions may end in inadequate growth and regeneration. So, the regulation of cell cycle is paramount for the organism’s survival. Cyclins, Cdks, and cell cycle checkpoints are responsible for the regulation of the cell cycle.

- 1. (a) Describe the generalized model of the cell cycle. Demonstrate how cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases can regulate the cell cycle. (b). Describe three ways in which cells lose their ability to regulate their growth to become cancerous.arrow_forwardExplain thoroughly: What are cell cycle checkpoints? Why are they important?arrow_forwardBriefly explain: What is meant by the term “cycle” in cell cycle? What is happening in the S phase and M phase?arrow_forward
- Explain and give the importance of cell cycle checkpoints in the different phase of the cell cycle.arrow_forwardIn cell cycle, under the control system, explain in details (including roles of related proteins): a) How mitogens trigger transcription of genes for entry into S phase. b) During M phase, how M-Cdk can trigger cohesin dissociation as well as Mad2 triggers mitotic checkpoint to delay metaphase to anaphase transition.arrow_forwardWhat is the significance of the cell cycle control system and checkpoints? Explain step by step in your own words. [please make it simple]arrow_forward
- Describe the three most important cell cycle checkpoints. Explain in a detailed manner and provide some sample scenarios.arrow_forwardWhat are checkpoints? List some of the important checkpoints in the cell cycle.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true with respect to cyclins and CDKs? A) CDKs promote progression of the cell cycle, cyclins function to inhibit progression of the cell cycle B) CDKs are the checkpoints in the cell cycle, and when bound to cyclins, they stop progression of the cell cycle C) CDKs will only work to promote progression of the cell cycle when complexed with their designated cyclins D) CDKs are rarely expressed during a cell's cycle, unless cyclins are present to act as transcription factors .arrow_forward
- Name the phases of the cell cycle. b) During which phases are the chromosomes and then the cytoplasm split, respectively? c) Describe one mechanism that is used to regulate the cell cycle.arrow_forwardExplain Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) control the cell cycle by phosphorylating other proteins?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements best describes the process of phase separation in cells? Proteins can assemble as liquid droplets that are not bounded by a membrane in either the cytoplasm or nucleus A protein can separate into different organelles dependent on the phase of the cell cycle Proteins that are assembled in one phase of the cell cycle and degraded in the next are said to undergo phase separation Signal sequences can target proteins assembled in the cytoplasm into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulumarrow_forward
