Answer:

They initiate various stages of the cell cycle.

Explanation:

Cyclins and cyclin-dependent protein kinases function to control the cell cycle. A group of cyclins: the G1 cyclins, are synthesized during G1 phase and function to activate CDPKs which initiate DNA synthesis at the G1/S checkpoint. The cell fails to progress to S phase if there is no sufficient synthesis of G1 cyclins. After a cell passes through this point, the G1 cyclins are degraded, allowing for another group of cyclins: the M cyclins to be synthesized. M cyclins activate a second group of CDPKs which allow the cell to pass the G2/M control point and into mitosis.

What characteristic of viruses distinguishes them from cells? They lack an independent metabolism. Their traits do not evolve in

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "They lack an independent metabolism"

Explanation:

Viruses are usually active/alive in a living environment and become inactive in non-living environment; these is because they rely on the metabolic activities of the invaded living environment/cell. This property is a sharp contrast to normal living cells that are able to metabolize different substances independently using several organelles.
