Yeast complete cell cycle in _____________.

  1. 30 minutes

  2. 60 minutes

  3. 90 minutes

  4. 120 minutes


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

One cell cycle of yeast is almost 90 minutes and a human cell takes almost 24 hours to divide by mitosis therefore by calculations it seems that a yeast can perform mitosis almost 16 times in the time of 1 division of a human cell.

Thus 90 is correct option. 

In a culture of E.coli the cell population increased from $1.5 \times 10^6$ cells /ml to $ 12 \times 10^6$ cells/ml in 36 minute.The generation time is 

  1. 6 mt

  2. 9 mt

  3. 12 mt

  4. 18 mt


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

At the start, the culture of E. coli has cell population of 1.5 X 10$^6$ cells/ml. After first generation, it will be doubled, that is 3 X 10$^6$ cells/ml. After second generation, it will be 6 X 10$^6$ cells/ml. After third generation, it will be 12 X 10$^6$ cells/ ml. It is given that for a cell population to increase from 1. 5 X 10$^6$ cells/ml to 12 X 10$^6$ cells/ml, it takes 36 minutes. It means, for 3 generation, it takes 36 minutes. So, its generation time is 36/3 = 12.

Thus, the correct answer option C.

Cdk which control progression through cell cycle check points are fully activated by.

  1. Binding to cyclin

  2. Phosphorylation by Cdk activating protein kinase

  3. Binding to cyclin, plus phosphorylation by Cdk activating protein kinase

  4. Phosphorylation by tyrosine kinase


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Through phosphorylation, Cdks signal the cell that it is ready to pass into the next stage of the cell cycle. As their name suggests, Cyclin-Dependent ProteinKinases are dependent on cyclins, another class of regulatory proteins. Cyclins bind to Cdks, activating the Cdks to phosphorylate other molecules.

So, the correct option is ‘binding to cyclin, plus, phosphorylation by Cdk activating protein kinases’.

Which cellular organelles are involved in initration of intrinsic pathway of apoptosis?

  1. ER

  2. lysosme

  3. mitochondria

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The death of cells which occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism's growth or development is called apoptosis. In this endoplasmic reticulum, lysosome, mitochondria, Golgi complex are involved.

So, the correct option is ‘ER, lysosome, mitochondria’. 

Which represents the correct sequence of stages in the cell cycle?

  1. $G _1$ ,$G _2$, S,M

  2. $G _1$, $G _2$,M,S

  3. $G _1$ ,M, $G _2$,S

  4. $G _1$ , S, $G _2$,M


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The cell progresses through defined phases of the cell cycle during its division.

first, the G1 in which some organelles starts their duplication then comes S phase where DNA has doubled then G2 phase and finally the M phase. 
So the correct sequence is 'G1,S,G2,M'.

The cell is not allowed to past the cell cycle restriction point, DNA damage is detected. Which of the following proteins are involved in detection of DNA damage and inhibition of cycle at the restriction point?

  1. Replication protein A (RPA)

  2. ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated ) protein

  3. Cyclin D

  4. PSS


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A. Replication protein (RPA) - is the major protein that binds to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in eukaryotic cells. ... During DNA replication, RPA prevents single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) from winding back on itself or from forming secondary structures.

B. ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated ) protein

 It activates checkpoint signalling upon genotoxic stresses such as ionizing radiation (IR), ultraviolet light (UV), or DNA replication stalling, thereby acting as a DNA damage sensor.

C.Cyclin D - a member of the cyclin protein family that is involved in regulating cell cycle progression. 

D.PSS - an autoimmune disease of the connective tissue. It is characterized by thickening of the skin caused by the accumulation of collagen, and by injuries to small arteries.

So, the correct option is ‘Replication protein A (RPA)’.

In order to enter cell cycle a cell must be stimulated from outside. What type of molecule provides this stimulation?

  1. cyclin

  2. colk

  3. cytokines and growth factor

  4. tyrosine kinases


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  • Cyclin-dependent kinases, through phosphorylation,  signal the cell that it is ready to pass into the next stage of the cell cycle. As their name suggests, Cyclin-Dependent Protein Kinases are dependent on cyclins, another class of regulatory proteins. Cyclins bind to Cdks, activating the Cdks to phosphorylate other molecules.

So, the correct option is 'cyclin'.

Select the correct option:

A cell cycle includes

  1. Interphase and M phase

  2. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase

  3. $G _1$, S and $G _2$ phases

  4. Karyokinesis and cytokinesis


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The cell cycle starts from interphase . Interphase is the phase in the cell cycle that prepare a cell and its nucleus for division. It has three stages- $G _1,S $ and $G _2$.M- phase is the final phase of cell cycle..It represent the phase of actual division. It consists of karyokinesis (division of nucleus ) and cytokinesis (division of cell protoplast).
