What are the three parts of signal transduction pathway?
reception, transduction, response
confirmation, transduction, transcription
reception, amplification, transcription
confirmation, amplification, response
Transduction step traditionally amplifies the signal, which of the following are NOT involved with transduction?
secondary messengers
protein modification
phosphorylation cascade
ligands
Which of the following is NOT a response by the cell from a signal transduction pathway?
cell growth
gene expression
secretion of molecules
all of the above are responses
Describe what occurs when the ligand binds to the receptor.
confirmation change in shape of receptor
phosphorylation of ligand
ligand passes through the membrane
receptor binds additional ligands
Describe the impact of a mutation in any domain of the protein components of the transduction signaling pathway.
receptor unable to bind to ligand
no changes in transduction due to initial signal transduction from ligand
alters response of the cell
amplification of signaling pathway to bind more ligands

Positive Feedback
Negative Feedback
Which feedback mechanism involves amplifying responses and processes in biological organisms?
Positive Feedback
Negative Feedback

metaphase, telophase, anaphase, prophase
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
telophase, anaphase, metaphase, prophase
prophase, anaphase, metaphase, telophase
Which of the following is NOT a role of mitosis?
gametes
tissue repair
growth
asexual reproduction
Which checkpoint is responsible for ensuring nondisjunction does not take place?
G1 checkpoint
S checkpoint
G2 checkpoint
M checkpoint
Describe the interaction between cyclin and CdK.
cyclin interacts with CdK to initiate the mitotic phase
cyclin is the precursor to CdK, when synthesized allow for mitosis proceed
cyclin acts as an inhibitor to CdK to wait for all DNA to be synthesized
cyclin binds to CdK to initiate DNA replication
Mitosis results in...

4 unique diploid cells
2 unique haploid cells
4 identical haploid cells
