The cell cycle encompasses three major processes; interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis. Interphase is then further divided in to three phases to ensure the cell progresses toward proper replication and division. Cyclin and CDKs (cyclin dependent kinases) are integral to this process. Which best describes the relationship between Cyclin and CDKs with the cell cycle?

The cell cycle consists of three major stages: interphase, nuclear division, and cytokinesis Which pairs of events both occur during interphase? The cell's DNA divides in half and its cytoplasm divides. The cell grows and replicates its DNA. The cell replicates its DNA and its cytoplasm divides. The cell grows and its DNA divides in half.
-Describe what takes place in the three phases of interphase. -What are cell cycle checkpoints? Where are they found in the cell cycle? What do they check for? -What feature is important for a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) to be active? -What do CDKs do in the cell cycle? -Describe the experiment that helped to understand maturation promoting factor (MPF) in Xenopus eggs. -Know which cyclin bind to its proper CDK and during what part of the cell cycle are the levels the highest?
