The drug colchicine inhibits the formation of spindle fibers during mitosis. If you treat dividing plant cells with colchicine,

what would you expect the result to be? A. The chromosomes are halved during cell division and the result is a cell that has half the number of chromosomes than it would normally have. B. The chromosomes do not pull apart in an orderly fashion during cell division and the result is two cells with unequal numbers of chromosomes. C. The chromosomes are separated during prophase and each of the four daughter cells receives a haploid number of chromosomes. D. The chromosomes do not pull apart during cell division and the result is a cell that has double the number of chromosomes than it would normally have.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

During metaphase of cell division, the chromosomes line up in the metaphase plate and the spindle fibers from the poles extend and attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes. The spindle then contracts and pull different chromosomes to the opposite poles of the cell before the parent cell divides.   If spindle fibers do not form, then the chromosomes will not separate during anaphase.

Therefore, the final cell after mitosis will be a cell with double the number of chromosomes -because if you remember, during interphase, genetic material is replicated so each daughter cell can have its copy-. Due to quality control in the process of cell divisison, this cell will mostly undergo apoptosis, otherwise, it could develop into cancer.

Earth's early atmosphere was primarily composed of
Paul [167]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''carbon dioxide, water vapor and nitrogen.''

Explanation:

About 4.5 billion years ago, Earth was a very geologically active planet. So many volcanic fumes formed the primitive atmosphere, which was mostly made up of water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur, and nitrogen. At this point, oxygen was barely present and the oceans did not yet exist. The primitive atmosphere is the one before the Precambrian, it was reductive, that is, it lacked free oxygen, and only had ammonia, methane and hydrogen, the high temperature of the atmosphere in its early stages facilitated the reaction of these gases to form organic compounds from which life may have emerged. UV rays passed, because ozone did not exist.

The principal of Dominance states that
jeka94

Principle of Dominance was given by Sir Gregor Johann Mendel.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Principle of Dominance was given by Sir Gregor Johann Mendel as a conclusion of the monohybrid cross between the different characteristic pea plants. It says that in an organism which is heterozygous for a particular character, only the dominant trait is able to express as a phenotype, not the recessive one. In other words, the recessive allele is completely masked by the presence of the dominant allele. This leads to same phenotype of a homozygous dominant organism and a heterozygous organism.

To test the organism about its heterozygosity, the organism is led through a test cross where the organism is crossed with a recessive organism. If the F1 offsprings are all dominant, then the organism is homozygous dominant, and if the F1 offsprings are of half dominant and half recessive phenotype, then the organism is heterozygous.
