What would you expect to happen with cyclins in a cell that does not divide at all once it is created?
A) they would behave normally
B) they would bind to cyclin-dependent protein kinases and move the cell into mitosis
C) they would bind to cyclin-dependent protein kinases and move the cell into telophase
D) they would turn cyclin-dependent protein kinases off
E) they would not be present and thus have no effect on the cell

Cyclins are proteins that regulate the cell cycle. In a cell that does not divide, cyclins would not be present because their primary function is to control the progression through different phases of the cell cycle, including mitosis. Without cell division, there's no need for cyclins, so they would have no effect on the cell.
