Activity

Draw a simple diagram of the cell cycle and place on it the three checkpoints for cell cycle regulation.

Then answer following questions:

-        What is positive regulation?

-        What is negative regulation?

-        Describe the association of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks).

-        Name the three regulatory molecules and explain the function of each.

-        Describe how the positive and negative controls differ.
