What protein is required to drive the mammalian cell through all cell cycle stages? Wee1 kinase Cdk4 Cdk1 Cdk2 cyklin D1

Cells are exposed to 3H-thymidine for a short period and the first labeled mitotic chromosomes appear about 4 hours later. Why do researchers conclude that G2 lasts about 4 hours? Enzymes were labeled, and they had to build up for 4 hours before they were detectable. The lengths of the other stages of the cell cycle were known, so they could deduce the length of G2 by subtracting them from the total length of the cell cycle. Cells are labeled in the S phase when DNA is replicated, so four hours passed between the end of the S phase and the beginning of the M phase when mitotic chromosomes are first observed. 3H-thymidine only emits radiation for about 4 hours. Other cells of this type have a G2 phase that lasts about 4 hours.

Cells are labeled in the S phase when DNA is replicated, so four hours passed between the end of the S phase and the beginning of the M phase when mitotic chromosomes are first observed.

What evidence suggests that a cell spends the majority of its time in interphase? Interphase is more useful. A large percentage of cells in a tissue or cell culture are seen to be in mitosis at any given time. Only a small percentage of cells in a tissue or cell culture are seen to be in mitosis at any given time. A moderate percentage of cells in a tissue or cell culture are seen to be in mitosis at any given time. Mitosis is too intricate a process to last very long.

Only a small percentage of cells in a tissue or cell culture are seen to be in mitosis at any given time.

Why did DNA in S-phase nuclei become fragmented when it compacted after fusion of the S-phase cell with an M phase cell? The cell fusion activated enzymes that fragmented the chromosomes. Replicating DNA is especially sensitive to damage, causing compaction to lead to fragmentation. M phase cytoplasm contains enzymes that degrade DNA. M phase cytoplasm contains enzymes that degrade histones.

Replicating DNA is especially sensitive to damage, causing compaction to lead to fragmentation.

DNA synthesis occurs during which phase of the cell cycle? mitosis S phase G1 G2 cytokinesis

Which of the following statements is NOT true regarding the wee1 gene? Wee1, which is encoded by the wee1 gene, is a protein kinase. Wee1, which is encoded by the wee1 gene, overrides the effect of CAK. Wee1, which is encoded by the wee1 gene, keeps Cdk in an inactive state. The effects of Wee1, which is encoded by the wee1 gene, are reversed by the action of Cdc25. The normal wee1 gene product causes the cells containing it to be smaller, hence the name "wee."

The normal wee1 gene product causes the cells containing it to be smaller, hence the name "wee."

What property below do stem cells possess that is NOT found in most other cells? They secrete lipids and glycolipids. They exhibit synchronous cell division. They exhibit symmetric cell division. The two daughter cells have different properties or fates. They do not replicate their DNA before cell division.

When normal cells are subjected to treatments that damage DNA, like ionizing radiation or DNA-altering drugs, what happens? They are severely and permanently damaged. Their progress through the cell cycle stops while the damage is repaired. Their progress through the cell cycle continues and the damage is not repaired. The nucleus is thoroughly destroyed.

Their progress through the cell cycle stops while the damage is repaired.

What is the average length of interphase in mammalian cells? There is not a good average since it depends on the cell type and conditions. It may last up to a day. On average, it lasts about 3 hours. It is 12 hours long. It is exactly 10 hours in all cells.

There is not a good average since it depends on the cell type and conditions.

Which statement about the daughter cells that result from mitosis is TRUE? They differ genetically from one another and from the parent cell. They are different from the parent cell, but are genetically identical to one another. One of the daughter cells is genetically identical to the parent cell, and the other daughter cell is not. They are genetically identical to one another and to the parent cell. Daughter cells are always haploid, and parent cells are always diploid.
