<h2>Mitotic Cell Cycle</h2>

Explanation:

a. Cytochalasin: an inhibitor of actin microfilament

  • Cytokinesis is the process by which cytoplasm is divided into two cells hence generation of two daughter cells
  • In animal cells the division of cytoplasm starts with the assembly of contractile ring
  • Contractile band consists of actin and myosin and catalyze cleavage furrow formation
  • Cytochalasin is a drug that blocks the polymerization of actin filament
  • When cytochalasin is added dividing cell fails to undergo in cytokinesis due to defective assembly of contractile band

b. Colchicine: an inhibitor of microtubule formation

  • Colchicine tightly binds with free tubulin dimer and prevents its polymerization
  • In this case mitotic spindle apparatus do not assemble and cells unable to do partitioning of chromosomes into two groups
  • Thus cell division is arrested

c. Aphidicolin: an inhibitor of DNA Polymerase activity

  • Aphidicolin is used to induce cell cycle arrest via specific inhibition of DNA Polymerase α
  • It blocks the cell cycle at early synthesis(S) phase

d. Emetine: an inhibitor of ribosome activity

  • It blocks the protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells by binding to small subunit(40 S) of ribosomes
  • It interferes with the synthesis and activities of DNA and RNA

Biome- A large naturally occuring community of plants and animals Example: Rainforest, Tundra, Desert, Marine, Grasslands,  etc 
Ecosystem- A community of living organisms  called producers, conumers, decomposers. Example: Plants (Producers) Rabbits (Consumers) Worms (Decomposers)
Community- Interacting group of various species Example: A forest of trees inhabited by animals.
Population- Traits of a group of plants and animals Example: 4 rabbits have broenn fur and 2 have black fur in a group.
Individual- Individual organisms Example:  An otter is a organism
Abiotic examples- Air, soil, sunlight, or water
Biotic examples- A frog, a leaf, or a tree

Where is a codon found
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

A codon is found on the coding strand of double-stranded DNA and in the (single-stranded) mRNA. The anticodon is found on the tRNA and is the part that base-pairs with the codon (on the mRNA) in order to bring the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome to be added to the growing peptide chain.
