Name
HINT: when you are explaining mechanisms affected by mutations, think about molecular interactions, or
enzymatic functions, or conformational changes that are involved in the normal pathways, since these are the
aspects most likely to be affected by mutations or drugs, or viral proteins.
If a consequence of a mutation/drug/virus results in a cdk being more frequently active, then the cell cycle will
proceed at the given checkpoint. If the consequence of a mutation/drug/virus results in a cdk being
inactivated or inhibited, then the cell cycle is stopped at the given checkpoint.
