I believe the answer is The spindle fibers  

Microtubule will form the spindle fibers that will grab the chromosome. The formation of microtubule will be start from prophase and it will have role in moving the chromosome through the metaphase and anaphase. If the substance disrupting the formation of microtubules, then spindle fibers will not be formed.

Describe how the ocean plays a role in stabilizing Earth's weather conditions.
Sindrei [870]
<span>The ocean affects the earth’s climate by utilizing the sun’s energy.  Based on the amount of the Sun’s energy that is absorbed by the ocean, multiple things can happen. For example in California, the sun heats the Pacific Ocean which heats the winds, which brings the warm climate to the state. Also, the ocean’s play a major role in the water cycle. The amount of precipitation falling on an area can affect its weather and climate. hope this helps!!!! </span>

What is the kingdom of fungi
patriot [66]
The kingdom of fungi is made up of variety of organisms, such as mushrooms, yeast, molds, etc. The organisms in this kingdom live by decomposing and absorbing the organic molecules on which they grow.
 The major characteristics of the organisms in the fungi kingdom is that they possess hyphae, which they use for absorption of nutrients. 
The organisms in the fungi kingdom are multi cellular eukaryortic and are incapable of producing their own food, that is, they are heterotrophs.

Pairs of Unit Factors, or Genes

Mendel proposed that paired unit factors of heredity were transmitted faithfully from generation to generation by the dissociation and reassociation of paired factors during gametogenesis and fertilization, respectively. After he crossed peas with contrasting traits and found that the recessive trait resurfaced in the F2 generation, Mendel deduced that hereditary factors must be inherited as discrete units. This finding contradicted the belief at that time that parental traits were blended in the offspring.

A gene is made up of short sections of DNA that are contained on a chromosome within the nucleus of a cell. Genes control the development and function of all organs and all working systems in the body. A gene has a certain influence on how the cell works; the same gene in many different cells determines a certain physical or biochemical feature of the whole body (e.g., eye color or reproductive functions). All human cells hold approximately 21,000 different genes.

Genetics is the science of the way traits are passed from parent to offspring. For all forms of life, continuity of the species depends upon the genetic code being passed from parent to offspring. Evolution by natural selection is dependent on traits being heritable. Genetics is very important in human physiology because all attributes of the human body are affected by a person’s genetic code. It can be as simple as eye color, height, or hair color. Or it can be as complex as how well your liver processes toxins, whether you will be prone to heart disease or breast cancer, and whether you will be color

Disulfide bonds are important in determining and stabilizing protein structure. Which amino acid, if mutated, will affect the fo
elixir [45]

Answer:

c. cysteine

Explanation:

Cysteine is a non essential amino acid. It contains sulfur in form of thiol group. A disulfide bond or bridge is formed between two thiol groups. It is represented as S-S. It is formed by oxidation of two cysteine molecules. The resultant disulfide bond is called as cystine which connects two polypeptide chains.

Cysteine is the only amino acid capable of forming disulfide bridge. It stabilizes protein's globular structure and plays an important role in protein folding and stability. Cysteine is required for protein synthesis, metabolic processes and detoxification. It is the part of beta-keratin which is the main protein in nails, hair and skin. If cysteine is mutated, formation of disulfide bond will be affected.
