Taxol is a chemotherapeutic drug that will attach to the spindle fibers and prevent their function thereby killing the cancer cell. The Anaphase process is avoided from occurring by this drug.

<h3>What is Taxol?</h3>

Taxol (chemical name: paclitaxel) is a anti-cancer chemotherapy drug used to treat cancer, blocks cancer cell growth by stopping cell division, resulting in cell death. It is used in treatment of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma.

Taxol interferes with anaphase process by inhibiting the shortening of the microtubules attached to the sister chromatids, so the chromatids do not separate and hence, will not move to the ends of the cells. Ultimately the cell division does not take place.

How does the spread of an airborne pathogen compare to the spread of foodborne and person to person pathogens?
bulgar [2K]
An airborne pathogen would be much more dangerous than that of a foodborne and person to person. Why? Because there is a higher risk of contracting it. With person to person, you could avoid infected people all-together, but with airborne, it's more complex than that. Obviously, the molecular make-up is different as-well, but this is in regard to which pathogens you are talking about.

What statement explains why earthquake tend to be deeper near subduction zones
suter [353]
A subduction zone is where one tectonic plate is sliding under another one. It is not usually a continuous smooth motion, but an intermittent cycle of building pressure of one plate against the other and then a "slip" or movement that relieves the pressure by moving the plates. This movement is called an earthquake.<span />
