Question

Draw and upload profile for the cells sorted at the restrictive temperature label the axes 

You have isolated a temperature-sensitive cell-cycle mutant. The mutated gene encodes the activating subunit of the APC. The mutant protein is defective at high temperatures. You sort several thousand cells and recover the WT-looking profile below:

*Graph Explanation:*
The graph is a plot of cell counts (in thousands) against propidium iodide fluorescence. The x-axis represents propidium iodide fluorescence, ranging from 50 to 250. The y-axis represents the number of cells, with values ranging from 0 to 5 (in thousands). The graph shows two peaks: a large peak at approximately 100 fluorescence units, and a smaller one near 200 fluorescence units.

Next, you grow the mutant at the restrictive high temperature and sort an equal number of cells. 

First, what phase of the cell cycle do you expect the cells to arrest in?

- ○ G1
- ○ M
- ○ G2
- ○ S
