Questions and Answers

What is the role of CAD in DNA fragmentation during apoptosis?

  • CAD inhibits the endonuclease activity
  • CAD prevents the cleavage of iCAD
  • CAD cuts the chromosomal DNA between nucleosomes (correct)
  • CAD promotes the formation of apoptotic nuclei

What is the consequence of cleavage of iCAD?

  • Inhibition of DNA fragmentation
  • Activation of executioner caspases
  • Unleashing of the nuclease CAD (correct)
  • Formation of apoptotic nuclei

How are DNA fragments separated by size during gel electrophoresis?

  • Based on their mobility in the gel (correct)
  • Based on their nucleotide sequence
  • Based on their association with iCAD
  • Based on their fluorescence intensity
