Which statement is correct in relation of activity of telomerase?
Increase with age
Observed in all cancers and responsible for immortality
Responsible for apoptosis but not for ageing
Re-synthesize telomeres
Which statement is correct for membrane receptors for signal transduction?
Contain single or multiple membranes spanning domain
Always coupled with trimeric G protein
Always results in production of secondary messenger

Which of the following molecules is involved in Ca2+ dependent cell‐cell adhesion?

Budding yeast cells that are deficient for Mad2, a component of spindle‐attachment check point, are killed by treatment with benomyl, which causes micro‐butules to depolymerize. In the absence of benomyl, however, the cells are perfectly viable. Which explanation out the following is able to justify this observation?
In the absence of benomyl, the majority of spindle forms normally and the spindle attachment checkpoint (Mad2) plays no role.
In the presence of benomyl the majority of spindle form normally and Mad2 plays critical role in cell survival
Other than the role in cell survival, micro‐tubule de‐polymerization affects oxidative phosphorylation in the absence of Mad2
Benomyl also affects protein synthesis in the absence of Mad2
