Question

Describe two factors that are responsible for regulating the cell cycle. What is their role in the regulation process?

Answer 1

Answer:

The cell cycle is controlled by many cell cycle control factors, namely cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs). Cyclins and Cdks, which are positive regulators of the cell cycle, activate cell cycle factors that are essential for the start of the next cell cycle phase.

Explanation:

Listen to pronunciation. (sel-SY-kul REH-gyoo-LAY-shun) Any process that controls the series of events by which a cell goes through the cell cycle. During the cell cycle, a cell makes a copy of its DNA and other contents, and divides in two.
