The answer is formation of spindle fibers.

Asters (Latin word for stars) of centrosomes are microtubules and are formed around centrosomes during mitosis. During prophase, asters and centrosomes move to the opposite sides of the cell. During metaphase, asters extend and connect to the centromere of chromosomes. During anaphase, those microtubules pull the chromatids apart to the centromeres on the opposite sides of the cell.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Less oxygen dissolved in the water is often referred to as a “dead zone” because most marine life either dies, or, if they are mobile such as fish, leave the area. Habitats that would normally be teeming with life become, essentially, biological deserts.

Hypoxic zones can occur naturally, but scientists are concerned about the areas created or enhanced by human activity. There are many physical, chemical, and biological factors that combine to create dead zones, but nutrient pollution is the primary cause of those zones created by humans. Excess nutrients that run off land or are piped as wastewater into rivers and coasts can stimulate an overgrowth of algae, which then sinks and decomposes in the water. The decomposition process consumes oxygen and depletes the supply available to healthy marine life.

Dead zones occur in coastal areas around the nation and in the Great Lakes — no part of the country or the world is immune. The second largest dead zone in the world is located in the U.S., in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
