What is the role of cyclins in the regulation of the cell cycle?

Cyclins are only involved in DNA replication and not in cell division

Cyclins bind to and activate cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) to regulate the cell cycle.

Cyclins inhibit the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) in the cell cycle

Cyclins have no role in the regulation of the cell cycle

Explain the function of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) in the cell cycle.

CDKs inhibit the progression of the cell cycle by dephosphorylating target proteins.

CDKs have no role in regulating the cell cycle.

CDKs promote the cell cycle by preventing the phosphorylation of target proteins.

CDKs regulate the progression of the cell cycle by phosphorylating target proteins.

Describe the role of tumor suppressor genes in preventing cancer.

Tumor suppressor genes promote uncontrolled cell growth and division

Tumor suppressor genes have no role in preventing cancer

What is metastasis in relation to cancer and the cell cycle?

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original tumor to other parts of the body.

Metastasis is the process of cancer cells staying localized in the original tumor

Metastasis is the result of the cell cycle stopping in cancer cells

Metastasis is the movement of healthy cells to the site of a cancerous tumor
