Part of G1 is for the cell to enlarge, this growth can cause internal signaling from desmosomes which may stop cell division. What is the connection between desmosomes and progression of the cell cycle? Select one: a. Desmosomes are linked to the MPF. When the cell grows it will turn on the MPF through the desmosomes which will turn off the APC, stopping cell division. b. Desmosomes have nothing to do with regulating the cell cycle. c. Desmosomes are linked to microfilaments that make up the cellular cortex. When pulled, they stop kinesins from walking on microtubules, halting cell division. d. Desmosomes are connected to intermediate filaments (the skeleton of the cell). As the cell grows, if the cell receives signals (mechanical through touching) from the desmosomes that there are cells on all sides, this will halt cell division at the G1 checkpoint as part of density-dependent inhibition.
