The most basic reason that cells are stained is to enhance visualization of the cell or certain cellular components under a microscope. Cells may also be stained to highlight metabolic processes or to differentiate between live and dead cells in a sample.
The correct answer is: E) cleavage furrow formation and cytokinesis
Cytochalasin B (cytos-cell and chalasis-relaxation) is a molecule which inhibit network formation by actin filaments by blocking monomer addition. As a result, itshortens actin filaments. This molecule is involved in cytoplasmic division where it blocks the formation of contractile microfilaments. One of the microfilament’s function includes cytokinesis and formation of cleavage furrow so these functions are affected by cytochalasin B.
The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be A TWO-HEADED FLY. A high concentration of bicoid protein at the opposite ends of a developing drosophila embryo would result in the development of a two-headed fly. The bicoid <span>gene is a type of egg-polarity gene and is transcribed by nurse cells. </span>
