Question

1 A) Which of the following is NOT a useful method for studying the cell cycle?

study of endocycling Drosophila cells as a model for DNA replication

isolation of synchronous frog oocyte extracts for biochemical experiments

flow cytometry to analyze cyclin-CDK associations

isolation of conditional mutants defective in cell cycle progression in yeast cells

1 B) Which of the following does NOT correctly describe CDK activity regulation by the following proteins?

Wee1 dephosphorylates CDKs to inactivate their function.

CAK phosphorylates CDKs and is required for their activation.

p21 binds to and inhibits cyclin-CDK complexes to arrest the cell cycle.

Cyclin association with CDKs activates them and controls their substrate specificity.
