Cell cycle is regulated by master regulators (cyclin and CDKs). In vertebrates, G1 CDK activity rises during G1 and is stimulated by the presence of growth factors. When signaling from growth factors is sustained, the resulting cyclin D–CDK4/6 complexes begin phosphorylating Rb, releasing some E2F, which stimulates transcription of the genes encoding cyclin E, CDK2, and E2F itself. In a particular cell type there is a mutation in Rb such that it cannot be phosphorylated. What will be the correct expression pattern of cyclin E in these cells after mitotic stimulation?

Use the figure to answer the question below. The unlettered circle at the top of the figure shows a diploid nucleus with four chromosomes that have not yet replicated. There are two pairs of homologous chromosomes, one long and the other short. One haploid set is black, and the other is gray. The circles labeled A to E show various combinations of these chromosomes. What is the correct chromosomal condition for one daughter nucleus at telophase of mitosis?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
During ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation in various events of cell cycle, ubiquitin-protein ligases ubiquitinylate substrate proteins, marking them for degradation by proteasomes. Cyclins are degraded through the action of two different ubiquitin-protein ligases, SCF and the anaphase-promoting complex or cyclosome. Following statements are regarding to SCF and APC/C.
A. SCF controls the G1–S phase transition by degrading G1/S phase cyclins and, CDK inhibitory proteins.
B. APC/C degrades S phase and mitotic cyclins, thereby promoting the exit from mitosis.
C. SCF and APC/C are multi-subunit ubiquitin-protein ligases that belong to the RING finger family of ubiquitin protein ligases.
D. SCF and APC/C belong to the different ubiquitin-protein ligase family, their regulation is same.
E. SCF recognizes its substrates only when they are phosphorylated.
F. SCF and APC/C both recognizes its substrates only when they are phosphorylated.
Which of the following is incorrect?
