A) CDKs promote progression of the cell cycle, cyclins function to inhibit progression of the cell cycle B) CDKs are the checkpoints in the cell cycle, and when bound to cyclins, they stop progression of the cell cycle C) CDKs will only work to promote progression of the cell cycle when complexed with their designated cyclins D) CDKs are rarely expressed during a cell's cycle, unless cyclins are present to act as transcription factors .arrow_forward

(1) Explain the role of Ras in epidermal growth factor signaling that results in cell division. (2) Design two experiments to prove that Ras is a key player in the EGF-activated pathway. (3) What assay other than cell division could you use to assess whether the EGF-Ras-MAPK pathway has been activated?arrow_forward''In the cellular regulatory pathways that controlcell growth and proliferation, the products of oncogenesare stimulatory components and the products of tumorsuppressor genes are inhibitory components.''
