A)Na⁺ ions B)phosphorylation of several of its subunits by the Cdk-cyclin that drives cells from G₂ into mitosis C)phosphorylation of several of its subunits by the Cdk-cyclin that drives cells from G₁ into mitosis D)phosphorylation of several of its subunits by the Cdk-cyclin that drives cells from G₁ into S phase E)dephosphorylation of several of its subunits by the Cdk-cyclin that drives cells from G₂ into mitosis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The activation of condensin at the onset of mitosis is regulated by phosphorylation of several of its subunits by the Cdk-cyclin that drives cells from G2 phase (G₂) into mitosis. This phosphorylation event triggers the translocation of condensin from the cytoplasm to the chromosomes where it can then participate in chromosome condensation.
