2. What are the different factors that control the cell regulation? Kindly write all of them with a
short description of each one.

Response
Cyclins and kinases. Cyclins regulate the events of the cell cycle by partnering with a group/family of
enzymes called the cyclin dependent kinases. Kinases is an enzyme that accelerates the process of
phosphate groups (ATP).

3. Explain what happens if a check point fail to regulate the process.

Response
If a checkpoint fails to regulate the process, it undergoes apoptosis and if it fails again, the cell will
become cancerous.

Teacher Comment

Excellent,
You can also write the answer like this:
If the checkpoint mechanisms detect problems with the DNA, the cell cycle is halted, and the cell attempts to either complete DNA
replication or repair the damaged DNA. If the damage is irreparable, the cell may undergo apoptosis, or programmed cell death 2.
