During early cleavage stages in drosophila, nuclei divide through 13 cycles in the absence of any cytoplasmic cleavage. This division creates an embryo of many nuclei contained within one shared cytoplasm surrounded by one common plasma membrane, this process is called as-

Precision will be reduced, but yield will be increased
Optimisation of a PCR reaction is often a compromise between the competing demands for precision, efficiency and yield. Although the specific effects may vary, generally, increasing the annealing temperature will increase non-specific primer binding and reduce precision. Increasing the length of the elongation phase will reduce the proportion of incomplete newly-synthesised strands and therefore increase yield. In this case, the potential effect on efficiency is unclear. Increasing the elongation phase would increase the reaction time, but the time taken to ramp down to a lower annealing temperature would be reduced.
What would the expected effect be on a PCR reaction if the primers used were slightly shorter and more variable than the intended oligonucleotide sequences?

#SCPH06 I Botany

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.
