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>

But some people are immune to HIV, which makes them more evolutionarily fit, likely to live longer, likely to reproduce more, which would increase the frequency of the immune allele in the population. Over time, this increase in frequency of the gene that causes immunity could spread across the human race and cause it to evolve.

love history [14]

Answer:

The hare population would most likely undergo logistic growth.

Explanation:

If conditions for them improved, the hare population would undergo an exponential growth. Then the lynx population would rise to match the exponentially growing numbers of hare. They would eat more hare and populations would stabilize at carry capacity limit.

Their populations fluctuate, one after the other, in a predictable way: when the snowshoe hare population increases, the lynx population tends to rise.
