<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Colchicine is also known as mitotic poison. When it is added the separation of chromosomes of daughter cells are stopped. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

This is because the formation of spindle fiber is not allowed in the mitosis phase. Basically it is the process of arresting the mitosis at metaphase to study the chromosomes properly.

The addition of colchicine prevents the chromosomes to move to opposite poles. It makes the cell polyploidy. Hence the of addition of colchicine is the polyploidy of the cell.

Which star has an temperature of 10,000 K and a Luminosity of 10^2
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

i think White Dwarf

Explanation:

We are given that the star has a temperature of 10,000 K and a luminosity of 10^2. According to the HR diagram, a star with the surface temperature of 10,000 K would be a white dwarf and if the star were on the main sequence, then it would have a luminosity nearly 100 times more than that of the sun. However since the actual luminosity is 10,000 times smaller than this, this star must be a white dwarf since it has 10,000 K and 100 aka 10^2 luminosity
