Which has a wider array of structures: proteins, DNA, or RNA? Explain why.
In your own words, explain common functional relatedness, structural relatedness, and ancestral gene relatedness of conserved regions of proteins.
Explain why protein domains that contain structurally or functionally important amino acid sequences would be conserved between organisms that are very distantly related.
Why are cysteines important to the structure of a protein?
Explain the role of p53 and how its mutation leads to increased growth rate in the cell.

Signal Transduction:
A) Explain how growth factors, acting through the signal transduction pathway, regulate cell proliferation. Names of specific proteins and their function must be given.
B) Give 2 specific examples of how an alteration in the signal transduction pathway can lead to cancer
Cell Cycle Regulation:
Describe the mechanism by which the cell cycle is regulated by mitogens. In your answer, be sure to include the following:
a) The phases of the cell cycle and protein whose concentrations vary during the cell cycle
b) The complexes formed by the proteins in (a) and the mechanisms by which they are regulated
c) The substrate of the complexes in (b) and its role in cell cycle control
