What part of the cell cycles are checkpoints that regulate the transition from anaphase to telophase?
A.
M checkpoint
B.
G2 checkpoint
C.
G1 checkpoint
D.
S checkpoint
This begins early in the telophase and continues after the nucleus has formed in the daughter cells.
a. cytokinesis
b. interphase
c. apoptosis
d. differentiation
The majority of the cells undergo selective activation of the DNA which would lead to cells developing specialized structures and specialized features, a process known as
a. differentiation
b. apoptosis
c. cell division
d. cytokinesis

- Sometimes a cells "deal with" damaged DNA by just killing off the cell. This special cellular suicide is called apoptosis. Usually, the cell cycle has checkpoints that prevent damaged/mutated cells from proceeding to the next phase, though. When these checkpoints don't work, apoptosis can be used. If apoptosis did NOT occur, how might the damaged DNA impact the rest of the cell cycle? A. it may not complete the cell cycle correctly B. new cells containing damaged DNA may be made C. the cell may enter G0 D. all of the above are options E. A and B, but not C F. B and C, but not Aarrow_forwardProgression through the cell cycle is dependent on both extra- and intracellular conditions. Consider the following conditions. Indicate which checkpoint (s) responds to that condition.a. The cell is large enough to divide.b. The DNA is completely copied during S phase.c. The cell is receiving positive cues from neighbors.d. The DNA is damaged.e. The cell has enough energy reserves to divide.f. Are all the sister chromatids correctly attached to spindle microtubules?arrow_forwardGive two examples of events that can regulate the cell cycle externally.arrow_forward

- How does gene activation lead to cell differentiation? Explain the correct answer and explain why the others are wrong. A. Different genes are activated in different cells, causing each cell to have a unique funcation B. The same genes are actives in every cell of your body, causing every cell to function the same C. Certain cells only have parts of DNA that causes cell deferentiation D.

A student claims that interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle. Another student claims that mitosis is the longest stage. Using evidence from the photo, determine which student is correct and why A)mitosis is the longest stage because anaphase requires more time to separate chromatids B) interphase is the longest stage because chromosomes are visible in the majority of the cells C) mitosis is the longest stage because the majority of the cells in the photo are replicating their dna D) interphase is the longest stage because the majority of the cells in the photo have uncondensed chromatin and are not dividingarrow_forward
