The propositions are:
a.alkylating agents
b.antimetabolites
c.topisomerase inhibitors
d.nucleoside analogs
e.<span>AZT

The right answer is A, 
An alkylating agent is a compound capable of adding alkyl groups to various electronegative groups under conditions present within the cells.

Antimetabolites are an anticancer drug but act differently than the alkylating agent. (interfere with folic acid)
Topoisomerase inhibitor acts by inhibiting isomerase, used in antibiotherapy (like quinolones).
Nucleoside analogs are analogs as their name says, it does not alkylate nucleotides.
AZT (</span><span>Zidovudine) is an antiretroviral drug that inhibits reverse transcriptase.</span>

All the following statements about destruction of cyclins are true EXCEPT: ubiquitin targets Cdks. destruction is carried out by
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

ubiquitin targets CDKs

Explanation:

Cyclins are named such because they undergo a constant cycle of synthesis and degradation during cell division. When cyclins are synthesized, they act as an activating protein and bind to Cdks forming a cyclin-Cdk complex. This complex then acts as a signal to the cell to pass to the next cell cycle phase.

Cyclins drive the events of the cell cycle by partnering with a family of enzymes called the cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks). A lone Cdk is inactive, but the binding of a cyclin activates it, making it a functional enzyme and allowing it to modify target proteins.
