What would happen if the process of mitosis skipped metaphase?

Mitosis is a division of a single cell into two identical daughter cells. It consists of four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase and cytokinesis. During metaphase, sister chromatids join together in the middle of the cell, so that during anaphase they can separate from each other to the opposite sides of the cells where they will represent future "nucleus" of the daughter cells. However, is metaphase was skipped, sister chromatids would not join in the middle, and consequently, they would not separate in anaphase. One of the possible consequences is that mitosis will stop and the cell would not divide. On the other hand, it could lead to unequal distribution of chromatids, so one cell will get both copies of chromosomes and the other will lack in chromosomes, which is lethal in both situations.

REY [17]

Answer:

<h2>G-A mutation is a point mutation in which one nucleotide is replaced by another nucleotide, it is an example of Transition mutation (a base substitutions that changes a purine nucleotide to another purine.</h2>

Explanation:

1. Defective Mitochondrial Gene Expression Results in Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS).

2. Elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and increased oxidative stress, results in defects in proper functioning of cell by causing mutation in the DNA and mitochondrial genes.

3. If the mutation is silent mutation, then there is no harm or less harm in the cell, if the mutation is missense or nonsense type then it can affect the functioning of the cell and phenotype of that organism.

4. If their is mutation in mitochondrial tRNA gene, it can affect the translation of mitochondrial mRNA and gene expression.
