If a cell in S phase is fused with a cell in G1:
1. | The G1 nucleus immediately enters the S phase |
2. | The S nucleus stops DNA replication |
3. | The G1 nucleus directly enters G2 phase |
4. | Both nuclei enter the M phase immediately |
Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are:
1. | Two key classes of regulatory molecules that determine a cell's progress through the cell cycle |
2. | The products of the proto-oncogenes in a eukaryotic cell |
3. | Two very important promoters that are involved in oncogenes |
4. | Mediators of apoptosis |
A cell passes the G1/S transition. This cell will:
1. | be allowed to replicate DNA only if there is adequate nutrients and growth signaling. |
2. | progress through S-phase even if environmental conditions become unfavorable. |
3. | become quiescent if the environmental conditions become unfavorable. |
4. | not be subjected to any control check point during the completion of the cycle. |
Apart from tissue stem cells, which of the following cells in the human body are good examples of being in reversible G0 phase?
1. | Mature hepatocytes |
2. | Senescent cells |
3. | Differentiated muscle |
4. | Differentiated bone |
If an organisms lives in an environment that increases the risk of damage to chromosomes, which of the following would be beneficial?
1. | Development of gametes into individuals without fertilization |
2. | Reproduction by binary fission |
3. | Syngamy |
4. | A life cycle excluding meiosis |
During which phase of the cell cycle does a mature human RBC replicate its DNA?
1. S phase
2. G1 phase
3. G2 phase
4. None
