The cell cycle is controlled by protein kinases that comprise a catalytic subunit and a regulatory subunit. Which of the following statement is correct regarding to these subunits?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. The catalytic subunits, the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), have no kinase activity unless they are dissociated with a regulatory cyclin subunit. 
  2. Each CDK can associate with a small number of different cyclins, which determine the substrate specificity of the complex—that is, which proteins it phosphorylates.
  3. Cyclin-CDK complexes activate or inhibit hundreds of proteins involved in cell cycle progression by phosphorylating or dephosphorylating them at specific regulatory sites. 
  4. Proper progression through the cell cycle is governed by activation of the appropriate homodimeric protein kinase complex at the appropriate time.

During  a  field  trip,  an  instructor  touched  a  moth  resting  on  a  tree  trunk.  The  moth  raised  its  forewings  to  reveal large eyespots on its hind wings. The instructor asked why the moth lifted its wings. One student answered that sensory  receptors  had  fired  and  triggered  a  neuronal  reflex  culminating  in  the  contraction  of  certain  muscles.  A second student responded that the behaviour might frighten predators. Which statement best describes these explanations?
