okay!!

look at your woobie for the specifics of what is happening in each part of the cell cycle!!

g1 g2 g1 mitosis

when a g1 cell is fused with an s-phase cell, DNA replication happens in the __ nucleus, probably because of s-cdk activity in the s cell. BUT g2 with an s phase does not mean dna synthesis in __. SO only __ cells can do dna replicate and that cells that did s phase (otherwise known as g2 cells) can’t re-replicate their dna even when they are given some s-cdk acticity. SO going through ______ is required for the cell to be able to go through s phase again.

New cards
31

washing machine g1 g0

we compared the cell control system to a…. meaning there are different checkpoints to go through. if it doesnt go through the checkpoint at __, it will go into a nondividing state called __

New cards
32

cdk cyclins

cyclin dependent kinases (or ___) are enzymes, and their activity fluctuates bc they’re controlled by _______, which are called that bc their concentrations vary with the cell cycle
