Explanation

Question 5 of 28

1

All of the following are true about Cyclin D except?

Select one of the following:

Explanation

Question 6 of 28

1

all of the following are true except?

Select one of the following:

  • Cyclin D-CDK 4/6 will phosphorylate Rb

  • Activated Rb will release E2F

  • E2F will cause Cyclin E synthesis

  • Cyclin E binds and activates CDK-2

  • Dephosphylated Rb is active

Explanation

Question 7 of 28

1

DNA damage-induced pathways target degradation of Cyclin D first and then Cyclin E which stops cell cycle progression true or false

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 8 of 28

1

hypophosphorylated Rb prevents E2F activity thereby preventing cell cycle progression true or false

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 9 of 28

1

All of the following about negative regulators of cell cycle are correct except?

Select one of the following:

  • INK4 (inhibitors of kinase4) family bind and inhibit only cyclin D-Cdk4/6 complexes at restriction point p15,p16

  • CIP (Cdk inhibitory protein) family bind and inhibit all cyclin-Cdk complexes at the restriction point p21

  • p16 normally inhibits Cdk4

  • in the absence of p16 Cdk 4 is active and phosphorylate Rb wichin in turn activates E2F

  • p16 normally activates Cdk4

Explanation

Question 10 of 28

1

Normally p53 levels are kept low by MDM2 true or false

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 11 of 28

1

All of the following about p53 are correct except?

Select one of the following:

  • p53 expressed at very high levels normally

  • DNA damage leads to phosphorylation of p53 stabilizing it and increasing its concentration

  • p53 acts as transcriptional activator increasing synthesis of Cdk inhibitor p21

  • p21 inhibits Cdk/ cyclin G1 and S complexes --> cell cycle arrest in G1

Explanation

Question 12 of 28

1

Abnormally high level of Myc causes systhesis of ARF which binds and inhibits MDm2 causing increase p53 which causes cell cycle arrest true or false

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 13 of 28

1

Cell cycle progression at check point 2 (G2-M) is regulated by phosphorylation of Cdk1-Cyclin B complex true or false

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 14 of 28

1

All of the following are inducers of apoptosis except?

Select one of the following:

  • Virus infected cells

  • DNA damage

  • Growth factor withdrawal

  • Ionising radiation

  • Calcium eflux

  • tumor necrosis factor

Explanation

Question 15 of 28

1

Following is the sequence of Extrinsic apoptotic pathway except?

Select one of the following:

  • Extrinsic apoptotic pathway is initiated by binding of death-inducing ligand to a death receptor (Cys-rich repeat in the extracellular domain)

  • Death receptor are FasR and TNF receptor which are integral membrane proteins with their receptor domains exposed at the surface of te cell

  • binding of the death activator (FasL and TNF-alpha) leads to activation of caspase -9

  • which in turn initiates a cascade of caspase activation leading to cell death

Explanation

Question 16 of 28

1

All of the following are pro-apoptotic genes except

Select one of the following:

  • Bcl-2

  • Bax

  • Diva

  • Bad

  • Bik, Bim

Explanation

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation
