Question
11)During mitosis, the cell was in need of a new enzyme that was not present in the cytoplasm in order to complete the division process. Infer if it is possible for the enzyme to be synthesized at this point in mitosis and explain your response.
A)If the new enzyme was not present in the cytoplasm in order to complete the division process then it cannot synthesize enzymes at this point in mitosis. This is because the genetic material is coiled up and cannot unzip to bring about protein synthesis. Protein synthesis occurs during interphase when the genetic material is in the chromatin state.
B)If the new enzyme was not present in the cytoplasm in order to complete the division process then it cannot synthesize enzymes at this point in mitosis. This is because the genetic materials in coiled up and cannot unzip to bring about protein synthesis. Protein synthesis occurs during interphase when the genetic material is in a chromosome state.
C)If the new enzyme was not present in the cytoplasm in order to complete the division process then it can synthesize the enzyme during prophase before the chromatin coils up to form the chromosomes. So protein synthesis will take place to produce the needed enzyme.
Explanation / Answer
C) if the new enzyme was not present in the cytoplasm in order to complete the division process then it can synthesize the enzyme during prophase before the chromatin coils up to form chromosome. So protein synthesis will take place to produce the needed enzyme
A and B are wrong because protein production is active throughout the cell cycle.
