Question
Which checkpoint mechanism is likely activated by the chemical compound to delay entry into mitosis?*1 pointG2 checkpointM checkpointS checkpointG1 checkpoint20. A researcher is studying a population of cells that exhibit abnormal chromosome numbers. Which of the following scenarios is most likely to explain this observation?*1 pointMutations in genes encoding proteins involved in cell cycle checkpoints occurred.Errors during DNA replication led to mutations in key cell cycle regulatory genes.Environmental toxins disrupted spindle fiber formation during mitosis.Various genetic and environmental factors may contribute to the observed abnormal chromosome numbers in the cell population.
Solution
-
The checkpoint mechanism likely activated by the chemical compound to delay entry into mitosis is the G2 checkpoint. This checkpoint ensures that all DNA has been correctly replicated and repaired before the cell enters mitosis.
-
The scenario most likely to explain the observation of a population of cells exhibiting abnormal chromosome numbers is that mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in cell cycle checkpoints occurred. This could lead to errors in chromosome segregation during cell division, resulting in abnormal chromosome numbers in the daughter cells.
