Question

In the absence of cdc25 cells would not be able to undergo mitosis.

True or False? 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Cell division cycle 25 A (Cdc25A) is a dual-specificity protein phosphatase which is a crucial cell cycle regulator. 

uncontrolled cell proliferation, as in cancers, is primarily due to deregulation of the cell cycle.  

CDKs are cell cycle regulators that phosphorylate to activate consequent retinoblastoma protein so as to promote progression in the cell cycle. however, it also needs tight controlling which is brought about by Cdc25 phosphatase which dephosphorylates CDKs which lifts the inhibition of these molecules.
