Two natural plant products, vinblastine from the rosy periwinkle and paclitaxel (taxol) from the pacific yew, have been used suc

cessfully in the treatment of a wide range of cancers. these chemicals work by interfering with mitosis but by different methods. vinblastine inhibits mitosis by preventing the assembly of the spindle. paclitaxel promotes microtubule synthesis and binds to the microtubules preventing the depolymerization (disassembly) of the spindle during mitosis. based on your knowledge of mitosis, at what phase do you expect cell division to be interrupted by each of these cancer fighting compounds? explain your answer based on the activities occurring at mitotic stages.

<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>

If you have adhd would you break stuff without thinking.
Lesechka [4]
I have ADHD, and I don't break stuff. ADHD stands for Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. It's where you get very hyper, talk a lot and can't sit still. It really doesn't revolve around "breaking things". Sometimes but It just really depends on how serious it is.

How would gene expression be affected if there was an error in translation(reading instructions)?
Andrews [41]

Gene expression is about making mRNA which is then translated into a protein. If the mRNA that was expressed is mis-read it may or may not have an affect on gene expression. It will have a negative effect if:

1. The protein produced is required for gene expression (e.g. the DNA polymerase)

2. The protein produced is another critical protein that the cell cannot live without.

3. If the question is more about constantly misreading during translation, eventually the cell would die because the wrong proteins would be made (or not made at all).
