The eukaryotic cell cycle is different from prokaryotic cell division in all the following ways except?

The eukaryotic cell cycle differs from prokaryotic cell division in the following ways: Eukaryotic cell cycle involves distinct phases (G1, S, G2, M) while prokaryotic division lacks defined phases. Eukaryotic cell cycle includes mitosis and cytokinesis for nuclear and cellular division, whereas prokaryotic division primarily involves binary fission. Eukaryotic cell cycle includes checkpoints for accurate DNA replication and damage repair, which are lacking in prokaryotic cell division.


What happens in the cell cycle?

During the cell cycle, a cell grows prepares for division & divides to form two daughter cells, each of which then begins the cell cycle all over again.


What is the overall goal of the cell cycle?

An important function of many checkpoints is to assess DNA damage, which is detected by sensor mechanisms. When damage is found, the checkpoint uses a signal mechanism either to stall the cell cycle until repairs are made or, if repairs cannot be made, to target the cell for destruction via apoptosis (effectormechanism). All the checkpoints that assess DNA damage appear to utilize the same sensor-signal-effector mechanism.The cell cycle, according to Temple and Raff (1986),[ 1] was expected to function as a clock; but, if this were the case, it would be expected that the stages of the cell cycle must function according to some sort of internal clock, which would determine how long a phase should last. However, the cell cycle is now depicted as falling dominoes: The preceding phase has to "fall" before the next phase can begin. The cell cycle checkpoints are, therefore, made up of composites of protein kinases and adaptor proteinsthat all play salient roles in the maintenance of the cell division's integrity.The DNA damage checkpoint is always active. Nonetheless, most human cells, for example, are terminally differentiated and must exit the cell cycle. There is a phase late in G1 phase called the restriction point (RP, or the restriction checkpoint); cells that should cease division exit the cell cycle and enter G0. Cells that continually divide in the adult human include hematopoietic stem cells and gut epithelial cells. Therefore, the re-entrant into the cell cycle is possible only by overcoming the RP. This is achieved by growth factor-induced expression of cyclin D proteins. These then overcome the G0 barrier and are able to enter the cell cycle.


How does the cell cycle change in a cancer cell?

Cancer cells often exhibit uncontrolled cell division due to mutations in genes that regulate the cell cycle. This results in faster proliferation and reduced apoptosis. Additionally, cancer cells can bypass cell cycle checkpoints, leading to genomic instability and unchecked growth.


Kinases and growth factors control what in the cell cycle?

Growth factors allow the cells to rapidly divide once they are anchored to a surface. Once the cells use up all of the growth factor (or they start to bump into each other) they will stop diving. Kinase is a regulatory protein that aids in the "stop" and "go" portion of the cell cycle.

Can cancer result when cells are insensitive to signals that begin the cell cycle?

All cell cycle phases are regulated at cell cycle checkpoints that comprise of receptor collectivities. Defects at the checkpoint of the G1 and G2-M phases lead to cancer by allowing and enhancing the proliferation of cancer cells.

Why is it important for the Cell cycle to be highly regulated?

Regulation of the cell cycle prevents cell from multiplying and growing when they are not needed. In abnormal cells, they continue through the cell cycle without crucial stop and checkpoints . These checkpoints are important because this is how the cell determines if the phase before was carried out properly. Lots of cancers form because of this. Cell that proliferate through its cycle and continue to grow and grow and grow.


What is the family of proteins that regulate the cell cycle?

The family of proteins that regulate the cell cycle are called cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). These proteins work together to control the progression of cells through different phases of the cell cycle by activating and deactivating specific cell cycle checkpoints. Dysregulation of cyclins and CDKs can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and potentially cancer.
