Oh man i remember learning about this but i cant remember what the answer is i will see what I can do :D
Answer:
By preventing the synthesis of DNA halting cell growth.
Explanation:
Fluorouracil and methotraxate prevent the synthesis of the neucleoside Thymidine thus preventing DNA replication and elongation. Methotraxate has a structure analogous to Folic acid which is important for thymidine synthesis. Thus, it acts as a competitive inhibitor on dihdrofolate reductase an enzyme that is essential for tetrahydrofolate formation, a folic acid derivative.
Fluorouracil acts by inhibiting thymidylate synthase which catalyses an essential step in Thymidine synthesis.
B.
Both processes have a growth period called interphase, in which a cell replicates its genetic material and organelles in preparation for division. The two cells that result after meiosis I enter meiosis II very quickly, during the brief interphase period, no further DNA replication takes place.
C.
A. True
The answer is actually "to prepare for special medical needs' I took the test
Can please provide the options.
