Cyclin dependent kinases (Cdk) are proteins that work with cyclin regulatory proteins. The cyclins are associated with different checkpoints of the cell cycle. Different phases of the cell cycle experience activation and/or deactivation of specific cyclin-Cdk complexes. Referring to the graph, what phase is there a drastic decrease in three of the cyclins?

A) Mitosis
B) S phase
C) G1 phase
D) G2 phase

How are proteins and nucleic acids related? they both provide energy. they both carry genetic information. the structure of proteins is determined by nucleic acids. the subunits of nucleic acids are also the subunits of proteins.

Use the above pedigree for questions 1,2, and 3 1. what kind of genetic disorder is represented in the pedigree? a. recessive b. dominate refer to the pedigree in question 1. 2. is the mutated gene in this disorder located on a sex chromosome (x or y) or an autosome? a. sex chromosome b. autosome refer to the pedigree in question 1. 3. which generation has individuals that you are certain are heterozygous for the mutated gene? a. generation 1 b. generation 2 c. generation 3

The hypothesis that evolution occurs at an irregular rate through geologic time is known as: directional evolution directional equilibrium punctuated equilibrium punctuated evolution
