Which major checkpoint delays G2 checkpoint
the cell cycle when DNA
replication is incomplete?
1) G1 checkpoint
2) M checkpoint
3) G2 checkpoint G1, G2, and M
checkpoints
4) G2 checkpoint
CDKs are important in the Adding phosphate groups to proteins
regulation of the cell cycle. They
carry out their function by:
1) degrading cyclin proteins
2) adding phosphate groups to
proteins
3) preventing the progression of
one stage of the cell cycle to
the next
4) removing phosphate
Which of the following is TRUE if The cell would proceed through the cell cycle even in the
a cell has a mutation in the p53 presence of DNA damage
gene such that the p53 protein
is no longer able to be
phosphorylated?
1) The kinase activity in the
nucleus would decrease
2) the cell would arrest
3) the cell would proceed
through the cell cycle even in
the presence of DNA damage
4) the amount of cytoplasmic
p53 would increase
