Assertion (A): The activity of a cyclin-dependent kinase varies through the cycle even though its own concentration does not.
Reason (R): The kinase is active only while bound to a cyclin, and cyclin levels oscillate.

  • A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.A is false but R is true

Answer: A

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism: the oscillation is imposed by the regulatory subunit rather than by the catalytic one, which is an economical way to produce a repeating cycle. Only the cyclin has to be made and destroyed each time round.
