Following statements are regarding to the Surveillance mechanisms in cell cycle regulation.

A. Surveillance mechanisms known as checkpoint pathways establish dependencies among cell cycle events and ensure that the next cell cycle event does not occur prior to the completion of a preceding event.

B. In response to DNA damage, two related protein kinases, ATM and ATR, are recruited to the site of the damage, where they activate signaling pathways that lead to cell cycle arrest, repair, and under some circumstances, apoptosis.

C. The spindle assembly checkpoint pathway, which causes initiation of anaphase, utilizes Mad2 and other proteins to regulate APC/CCdc20, which targets securing and mitotic cyclins for ubiquitinylation.

D. The spindle position checkpoint pathway prevents mitotic CDK inactivation when the spindle is mispositioned. In this pathway, localized activators and inhibitors and a sensor that shuttles between them allow cells to sense spindle position.

When Lucifer yellow, a small dye, is injected into a neuron of the retina, neighboring neurons become rapidly labeled. If the retina is incubated in dopamine prior to Lucifer yellow injection, only the injected neuron becomes labeled. These findings suggest which of the following?

I. Neurons of the retina communicate via gap junctions.

II. Dopamine is transferred between cells via gap junctions.

III. Dopamine decreases the permeability of gap junctions.
