Which of the following statements about the cell cycle is TRUE?
a. The protein APC blocks cells from entering anaphase
b. CDKs are degraded after each cell cycle phase by the addition of a ubiquitin chain to the proteins
c. A kinase is a protein that adds a ubiquitin chain to other proteins Cyclin activity is necessary, but not always sufficient, for CDK activation
d. Cyclin proteins must be degraded before Cdk proteins can be activated
The diagram below shows a model for the normal regulation of the transition to
anaphase during mitosis.
1. Signals are released by
unattached kinetochores
that cause MAD to bind
CDC20.
MAD
CDC20
6. Chromatids
separate as mitosis
procoeds to anaphase.
COHESIN
3. The APCCDC20
CDC20 complex ubiquinates
Securin.
APC
2. When all kinetochores
are attached, MAD
releases CDC20 which
then combines
with APC
UBIQUITIN
SEPARASE . Separase destroys
Cohesin
APC
SEPARASE
SECURIN
4. Securin is destroyed,
releasing Separase
Your analyses of cancer cells that do not regulate this transition normally indicate that:
MAD is binding to CDC20;
• Ubiquitin is not attached to securin;
• Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.
Which of the following explanations could account for all of your observations?
a. The cell has an alteration in MAD that prevents it from releasing CDC20 when the 'unattached kinetochore' signal
stops.
O b. More than one of the other answer choices are correct.…
Which of the following statements about mitosis is incorrect?
a. Microtubules from the spindle poles attach to the kinetochores on the chromosomes.
b. In anaphase, the spindle separates sister chromatids and pulls them apart.
c. In metaphase, spindle microtubules align the chromosomes at the spindle midpoint.
d. Cytokinesis describes the movement of chromosomes.
e. Both the animal cell furrow and the plant cell plate form at their former spindle midpoint.
