They attach to the centromeres and pull apart new chromosomes to the opposite poles of the cell
Dafna1 [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Spindle fiber is made up of microtubules that originates from the centriole present at both the poles of the animal cell. Plant cells do not contain centriole but can generate spindles from centrosomes.

During the mitotic cell division, the spindle fiber attach to a specialized structure made up of a protein complex called kinetochore which is present on the centromere of mature chromosome. Then these spindle pull the chromosome toward the pole through their centromere.

These spindle fibers help to separate the chromosomes during nuclear division in mitosis but it also helps in chromosome editing by holding two sister chromatids at their position together.  

The separation of chromosome is necessary so that after cell division both the daughter cell contains genetic material.

Why do antibodies allow scientists to target and identify specific disease agents?
masha68 [24]
Antibodies bind to the antigens on the surface of disease agents. If some sort of fluorescent tag is added to the antibody it would make the disease agent be identifiable either under a microscope or with other Instruments because it would bind to the antigens on the surface of the disease agents and make them glow a certain color. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.

How would homeostasis be affected if the cardiac muscle stopped contracting?
vodka [1.7K]

The heart is a muscle, therefore, if the cardiac muscles stopped contracting, the result would be the ceasing of heart function. That would lead to death, as blood wouldn't be pumped throughout the body. Homeostasis would therefore be interrupted.

How are greenhouse gasses naturally produced
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Greenhouse gases absorb this energy, thereby allowing less heat to escape back to space, and 'trapping' it in the lower atmosphere. Many greenhouse gases occur naturally in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and nitrous oxide, while others are synthetic.
