<span>If vinblastine prevents assembly of the spindle, then it interrupts cell division in Profase 1, when the assembly of the spindle begins. Paclitaxel prevents the depolymeritation of the spindle, so it will interrupt cell cycle in Anaphasis, when the dissasembly of spindle takes place.</span>

Answer:

Red blood

Explanation:

The bluish color of veins is only an optical illusion. Blue light does not penetrate as far into tissue as red light. If the blood vessel is sufficiently deep, your eyes see more blue than red reflected light due to the blood's partial absorption of red wavelengths.

Como aseguramos que en la mitosis la nueva célula es idéntica a la célula madre ?!!!
lozanna [386]

Answer:

The daughter cells are genetically identical because mitosis is a process that ensures the equal distribution of the replicated genetic material between these cells

Explanation:

During mitosis, the DNA is duplicated during the interphase (S-phase). Subsequently, the replicated chromosomes are arranged in the center of the parent cell (metaphase) to be finally separated and equally distributed between the daughter cells.

Can a dog wag its tail without the tail in turn "wagging the dog"? (consider a dog with a relatively massive tail.)
Phoenix [80]
I don't think so, because for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Hope this helps! :)
