Full Description
This exam is centered on the function and mechanism of cell cycle checkpoints, which are critical for ensuring genomic stability. Participants will explain the checkpoints at the G1, S, G2, and M phases and their respective roles in the prevention of cell cycle progression amidst DNA damage.
The importance of checkpoints extends to their roles in cancer prevention and therapeutic resistance. A thorough comprehension allows for an understanding of how cells respond to damage and adapt their division processes.
Candidates will be tested on their verbal presentation of checkpoint functions, the consequences of checkpoint activation or failure, and associated regulatory networks involved in cell cycle progression. Articulation of these concepts is paramount.
Dynamic discussions may involve real-world implications of checkpoint dysregulation and its links to tumorigenesis, presenting opportunities for candidates to connect theoretical knowledge with their applications in clinical settings.
Sample Questions
- What are the primary functions of the G1 checkpoint in the cell cycle?
- How does the activation of the G2 checkpoint influence cell division?
