What does S-cdk inactivate by phosphorylation: ORC, cdc6, cdt1 or all of the above - -
all of the above
Which enzyme removes the inhibitory phosphate form M-cdk - -cdc25
M-cdk inhibitory phosphate is removed at the entrance to which phase - -M-phase

the mitotic spindle - -True
When do centrosomes duplicate - -S-phase
T/F: centrioles are dispensable for cell division - -True
What keeps the inter polar microtubules together - -kinesins
