During wound healing in human skin, fibroblast cells rapidly divide to help repair damaged tissue. The regulation of this healing process is crucial for preventing excessive scarring. Which of the following best describes how cyclins control this process at the molecular level?
Cyclins bind to DNA in order to trigger DNA replication to create new cells to repair the damaged tissue
Cyclins form complexes with kinases that remove phosphate groups from target proteins
Cyclins bind to cyclin-dependent kinases to form complexes that phosphorylate target proteins
Cyclins break down target proteins to signal the next phase of the cell cycle
