CELL DIVISION AND CANCEROUS CELLS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In G1 of the cell cycle, the following occur
A
protein synthesis, organelle number increase, cell size increases, Cyclin D is expressed
B
DNA is replicated, triggered by Cyclin A
C
protein synthesis, organelle number increase, cell size increases, Cyclin B is expressed to promote spindle formation
D
Separation of sister chromatids into genetically identical nuclei
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In G1, cells accomplish most of their growth; they get bigger in size and make proteins and organelles needed for normal functions of DNA synthesis. Here, proteins and RNAs are synthesized, and, more especially the centromere and the other components of the centrosomes are made.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the cell cycle, RNA and protein synthesis takes place during the G1 and G2 phases. The cell cycle is an ordered set of events, culminating in cell growth and division into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth). At the end of interphase comes the mitotic phase, which is made up of mitosis and cytokinesis and leads to the formation of two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cyclin D1 is an important regulator of cell cycle progression and can function as a transcriptionl co-regulator. The overexpression of cyclin D1 has been linked to the development and progression of cancer.
