#Question id: 12482

The Rb protein has been called the “master brake” of the cell cycle. How the Rb protein acts as a cell cycle brake?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. Rb bound to E2F and function as transcriptional repressors because Rb recruits chromatin-modifying enzymes that promote deacetylation and methylation of specific histone lysines, causing chromatin to assume a condensed, transcriptionally inactive form.
  2. S phase CDKs and mitotic CDKs maintain Rb protein in the phosphorylated state throughout the S, G2, and early M phases.
  3. Rb bound to E2F and promotes ubiquitinylation of E2F and inhibits chromosomal segregation.
  4. Rb bound to E2F and promotes acetylation which prevents unloading of cohesins.

C) The mating relationship in most mammals is monogamous, to ensure the reproductive success of the pair.

D) Polygamous relationships most often involve a single male and many females, but in some species this is reversed

A) You enter a room and hear a fan motor. After a period of time, you are no longer aware of the motorʹs noise.

B) You hear a horn while driving your car. You step on the brakes but notice the sound came from a side street. You resume your previous speed.
