Reference no: EM13530120

Genetic study has been usedsuccessfully to identify the genes responsible for cell cyclecontrol and regulation.

a. Describebriefly how to use temperature sensitive conditional mutants toidentify wee1 as a regulatory protein for CDK activity in fissionyeast?

b. Attemperature X, if wee1 production is increased significantly inthis fission yeast strain, how a sample of this yeast culture willlook under the microscope two hours after they have been grown attemperature X, and what will be the status of the mitoticcyclin/CDK ?

c. If wee1 isdeficient in the cell, what will be the phenotype and mitoticcyclin/CDK activity?
