Question:
- Why is cyclin D expressed early and for much of the cell cycle?
- Why does cyclin B arise late in G2 and before M phase?
- Why do the levels of these cyclins differ so much during the
cell cycle?
Answer:
- Cyclin D is needed early to help make proteins for DNA replication.
- Cyclin B rises before mitosis to trigger processes like nuclear breakdown.
- Cyclins rise when needed, then degrade to let the next phase begin.
