- The p53 pathway is important for regulating the cell cycle. In a normal cell, there is a protein called mdm2 that can bind to p53 and deactivate it. A diseased individual has amutation in the gene that codes for mdm2, resulting in an mdm2 protein that is less able to bind to p53. Will this mutation increase, decrease, or cause no change in the rate of cell death? Explain.arrow_forwardWhat is the function of telomeres?arrow_forwardThe interphase is the part of the eukaryotic cell cycle that is most transcriptionally active. Gene regulation during this phase involves changes in the chromatin. a) What is chromatin? b) How can the chromatin structure change?arrow_forward

In vitro studies show that the normal p5x molecule binds to DNA, and neoplastic cells accumulate in the G0 phase of the cell cycle. In contrast, the mutated form of p5x does not bin d to DNA.

Why is this statement true? Question 7 options: a) Anaphase will only begin after the M checkpoint where all the kinetochores and mitotic spindle have correctly attached. b) Anaphase will only begin after the M checkpoint where all the mitotic spindle have correctly formed. c) Kinetochores bind to microtubules in monotelic attachment to the sister chromatids. d) Kinetochores bind to microtubules in syntelic attachment to the sister chromatids. e) Kinetochores will halt at the M checkpoint to weaken the mitotic spindle formation, which is the event that initiates anaphase.arrow_forwardA cell inherits a mutation in a gene that results in a transcription factor, called NF-kB, constantly being in its active conformation. When active, NF-kB stimulates the expression of cyclins that promote progression of the cell cycle, regardless of other conditions. As a result of this mutation, how would this cell's phenotype be affected by this mutation? A) This cell would have a cancer phenotype B) This cell would grow larger in size, but would never divide C) This cell would likely undergo apoptosis D) This cell would not duplicate its chromosomes .arrow_forward
