Question
Which statements are true? Explain why or why not.
1 Since there are about 1013 cells in an adult human,
and about 1010 cells die and are replaced each day, we
become new people every three years.
2 In order for proliferating cells to maintain a rela-
tively constant size, the length of the cell cycle must match
the time it takes for the cell to double in size.
3 While other proteins come and go during the
cell cycle, the proteins of the origin recognition complex
remain bound to the DNA throughout.
4 Chromosomes are positioned on the metaphase
plate by equal and opposite forces that pull them toward
the two poles of the spindle.
5 Meiosis segregates the paternal homologs into
sperm and the maternal homologs into eggs.
6 If we could turn on telomerase activity in all our
cells, we could prevent aging.
