The appearance of MPF activity in the absence of protein synthesis suggests that an inactive precursor of MPF is being activated. In principle, activation could involve one of several kinds of post-translational modifications such as protease cleavage or changes in protein phosphorylation. From class you know that MPF is held in an inactive state by phosphorylation of an inhibitory site of Cdk. MPF is activated when that inhibitory phosphate is removed by the protein phosphatase, Cdc25.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is 3. "At pH 6.5 the enyzme is 50% active"

Explanation:

For the titratable group to be protonated and cause the enzyme to be in the active state, it needs to have gained a hydrogen cation (H+). In order for that to happen, there must be enough hydrogen cations in the environment of the enzyme, and hence, an acidic pH is required in this case.

Why is it difficult to observe individual chromosomes with a light microscope during interphase?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

They have uncoiled to form long, thin strands.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are present in cell nucleus and consist of chromatin. Genes are present in linear order on chromosomes.  The chromosomes become visible under the microscope as distinct structures during cell division. When cells are not dividing, the chromosomes decondense to loose their individuality and make the mass of chromatin.  

Chromatin is complex of DNA and packing proteins. As the cells enter the prophase stage of cell division, condensation of chromatin occurs and individual chromosomes become visible under microscope. Before that (during interphase), chromosomes are not visible as they are present in decondensed form.
