You are a cancer researcher, and want know what phase of the cell cycle a set of ductal cells are in. Since the best way to determine this is by measuring the level of a protein that varies in concentration depending on the cell cycle stage, you decide to measure the level of:

A researcher experimentally reduces the level of Ca++ in a developing chicken embryo just before the neural tube closes. You know that neural tube closure requires a functional “adhesion belt” in order to form. What do you hypothesize will happen?
