🧬 Cell Cycle Clock Lab: Cyclin-CDK Oscillator, Size Checkpoint and Spindle Checkpoint

A growing cell runs a cyclin-Cdk1-APC oscillator (Goldbeter's minimal model) that triggers mitosis once the cell is big enough. Watch the five stages, add a spindle poison, switch the spindle assembly checkpoint on or off and see how many chromosomes are put at risk when the cell divides.
