BIOL 340 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Antigen, Hematopoietic Stem Cell, Epithelium

Discuss the different phases of the cell cycle. At which part of the cell cycle would you expect that a change in regulation could result in cancer? How is the cancer cell cycle different from a normal cell cycle? Provide a rationale for your answer.

Cyclins undergo a constant cycle of synthesis and degradation during cell division. Discuss what cyclins are, their role in cell division and what effect the loss of mitotic cyclins would have.

how does the absence of a functional gene product (RML protein) in the rml mutant affect cell division. consider whether the gene product that is mutated is an integral component of the division cycle operating throughout the whole plant, or regulates a specific division cycle event. Discuss whether or not this affect is restricted to the root meristem
