To control the cell cycle,

A) the activity of Cdks stays the same throughout the cell cycle.
B) cyclins fluctuate during the cell cycle.
C) Cdks are active only when they are released from cyclins.
D) the anaphase-promoting complex stimulates DNA replication.
E) M-Cdk inhibits mitosis.

Cyclins

Regulatory proteins whose levels oscillate during the cell cycle; cyclins associate with cyclin-dependent kinases to form cyclin-Cdk complexes.

Cdks

Cyclin-dependent kinases, enzymes that regulate the cell cycle through phosphorylation of target proteins.

Anaphase-Promoting Complex

A multiprotein complex that regulates the progression of the cell cycle by triggering the transition from metaphase to anaphase in mitosis and meiosis.

  • Understand the governing systems of the cell cycle, particularly focusing on the contributions of cyclins and Cdks.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Cyclins are regulatory proteins whose levels fluctuate throughout the cell cycle, enabling the progression of the cell cycle by activating cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks).
