20. Suppose that Messelson & stahl had carried out their experiment by growing
cells in medium with 14-N & then transferred the cells to medium containing
15-N. How would the bands within the centrifuge tubes have appeared if
replication were semiconservative? If replication were conservative? If replication
weredispersive?
21. What is autoradiography? Describe how the use of 3-H thymidine &
autoradiography can be used to determine the length of the various periods of the
cell cycle.
22. What is the effect of fusing a cell in G1 with one in S; of fusing a G1 phase
cell with one in M; of fusing a G2 or s phase cell with one in M?
23. Describe the events that occur in a cell during prometaphaase & during
anaphase. How do the events of mitotic prophase prepare the chromatids for
later separation at anaphase?
24. Constrast the overall roles of mitosis & meiosis in the lives of a plant or
animal. How do the nuclei formed by these two processes differ from one
another?
25. What is crossing over? Describe Holliday model of crossing over? Is this a
type of recombination? How?
26. How was it demonstrated that genetic recombination took place by a breakage
& reunion mechanism? In which phase of cell cycle does this happen? What
are the other events that take place during this phase?
27. How the Ca2+ concentration of a cell is is maintained? What is the role of

calcium binding protein in eliciting a response? Why the concentration of
signal molecule changes during signalling?
28. Ca2+ , IP3, & cAMP have all been described as secondary messangers. In
what ways are their mechanism of action similar or different? Suggest some
primary messangers that transfers their signal to secondary messangers.
29. Describe the two forms of diabetes & the causes of its occurrence. Suggest 3
molecular abnormalities that results in increase in sugar level in blood & urine
of an individual.

longer half life than others? What all molecules are involved in this
event?

plasma membrane gives flexibility to the membrane? Why some proteins
reside inside the membrane while others remain as extrinsic protein?
