A cell in G1 is fused with a cell in mitosis. Describe two cellular effects that would occur in the G1 cell as a result of this fusion.
Answer : If a cell is in Metaphase of mitosis and is fused with a cell in the G1 the second nucleus also begins mitosis. This is because a dividing cell releases cyclins, CDKs that are different in each phase of the cell division cycle. Thus, if the cell in G1 phase is exposed to CDKs of the following phases of the division process the cell will enter into the next phase, that is mitosis. So, Molecules such as cyclins are in high concentration in the cytoplasm of a dividing cell and will signal the fused cells nucleus to undergo mitosis.
