Examples of bacteriophages are: 1) Temperate phages (mu and lambda) 2) Filamentous and spherical phages , both having ssDNA (single stranded DNA)
New cells are typically produced during cell division. Cell division is a complex process that is regulated and checked at many points. Due to varying factors, the cell regulation mechanism may become non functional and this usually result in abnormal cell growth and division.
An abnormal cell growth may be cancerous or non cancerous. The best thing to do when one notices an abnormal growth in his body is to go and see the doctor. The doctors will administer appropriate test in order to determine the type of tumor that is present. If the tumor is non cancerous it will be removed by minor surgery. In case the tumor is cancerous, appropriate treatments will depending on the part of the body where it is found, the stage of growth and nature of the cancerous cells.
Answer:
a. disruption of mitotic spindle formation.
Explanation:
Vinblastine is a chemotherapeutic drug which is used to restrict cancer cell proliferation. During metaphase, it binds to microtubular proteins which play a very important role in mitotic spindle formation. If spindles will not form then during anaphase, the sister chromatids will not separate and mitosis will not take place. This is how hyper-proliferative cancerous cells are controlled from dividing and cancer is treated using this drug.
Answer: A - Uptake of food and water by plants
The xylem vessels in the roots of the plants use the mechanism of capillary action and work against gravity to pull water molecules and nutrients from the soil and carry them upwards to the leaves of the plant to provide nourishment to the plant.
