Answer to Problem 1P

Correct answer:

Signal transduction: Series of steps by which a message is protein kinases transmitted

Explanation of Solution

Signal transduction is a sequence of reactions through which a message is transmitted. The reactions are stimulated by the interaction between the cell and its surface receptor.

Introduction:

Check points are referred to as the check points and are present througout the cell cycle.

Answer to Problem 1P

Correct answer:

Checkpoints: Control progress in the cell cycle in response to DNA damage

Explanation of Solution

The cell has a repair mechanism to correct the DNA damage. These control points are called as check points. Different checkpoints are present throughout the cycle so that mutated DNA is not divided or replicated.
