The spindle apparatus disintegrates during _____. anaphase telophase interphase metaphase
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer;

-Telophase

Explanation;

-The spindle apparatus disintegrates during the telophase of mitosis. Telophase is the final stage of mitosis.

-During this phase, the sister chromatids reach opposite poles. The small nuclear vesicles in the cell begin to re-form around the group of chromosomes at each end.

-As the nuclear envelope re-forms by associating with the chromosomes, two nuclei are created in the one cell. Telophase is also marked by the dissolution of the kinetochore microtubules and the continued elongation of the polar microtubules.

What happens next after the ribosome reaches the start codon?
iris [78.8K]

RNA molecules attach to codons when the ribosome reaches the start codon.

Explanation:

The start codon initiates translation of the mRNA by the ribosome into a polypeptide. When the ribosome finds the start codon, it attaches to the mRNA and the first amino acid, methionine, is recruited. The ribosome then continues translating the rest of the mRNA until it encounters a stop codon that initiates the ‘knocking off of the ribosome from the mRNA.
