Question
during the cell cycle, proteins called cyclins bind to enzymes that send signals for the cell to progress through stages of cell replication. at the end of this cycle, the cyclins degrade to prevent further signaling for the cell to divide. uncontrolled production of cyclins will most likely result in the formation of
word bank: cell death, tumors, haploid cells, cyclins
Cyclins regulate the cell cycle. Uncontrolled production means cells divide without proper stop signals. This uncontrolled cell division is a hallmark of tumor formation as normal cell - cycle regulation (which cyclins are part of) is disrupted. Tumors are masses of cells that result from abnormal cell growth and division. Cell death would occur if there was excessive degradation or inhibition (not over - production). Haploid cells are related to meiosis (gamete formation) and not directly to cyclin over - production. Cyclins themselves are the proteins in question, not the result of their over - production.
