individually to study their effects on the cell cycle. The cells on the left are examples of the cells at the beginning of the experiment. The cells at the right are representatives of three different experimental treatments using the compounds listed below. a. cytochalasin: b. an inhibitor of actin microfilament assembly colchicine: c. an inhibitor of microtubule formation aphidicolin: d. an inhibitor of DNA polymerase activity emetine: e. an inhibitor of ribosome activity (and therefore protein synthesis)

<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

PLEASE HELP ASAP IN A RUSH!!!!What do osmosis and diffusion have in common? A. Both are the net movement of randomly moving mole
NARA [144]

The right answer is A.

Osmosis is a phenomenon that considers only the exchanges between two liquid solutions of different concentrations in liquid phases separated by a semi-permeable wall. Osmosis is a phenomenon of diffusion of matter, demonstrated when solvent molecules pass through a semi-permeable membrane separating two solutions whose solute concentrations are different; the overall transfer of solvent is then from the least concentrated solution (hypotonic medium) to the most concentrated solution (hypertonic medium) to equilibrium (isotonic media).

The diffusion of matter, or chemical diffusion, refers to the natural tendency of a system to render uniform the chemical potential of each of the chemical species it contains.

Chemical diffusion is an irreversible transport phenomenon that tends to homogenize the composition of the medium.

The bone marrow of the skeletal system produces lymphocytes which belong to what system ​
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer: Immune system

Explanation:

Lymphocytes are a class of white blood cells (leukocytes) involved in immune response when activated by the a foreign molecule (an antigen). B lymphocytes develop in the bone marrow of mammals and are responsible for the production of circulating antibodies.

Thus, lymphocytes are associated with the immune system.
