Answer and Explanation:

Taxol is a type of chemotherapeutic drug that is anti-mitotic against cancerous cells which are actively dividing. At high concentration, it causes mitotic arrest at G2/M phase whereas at low concentration, apoptosis is induced at G0 and G1/S phase through activation of p53 depending on the dose concentration. It blocks the cell cycle by stabilizing the microtubule cytoskeleton against depolymerization. P53 is a type of tumor suppressor gene that is activated to inhibit the excessive proliferation of cancer cells.

Tumour suppressor genes code for proteins that slow down cell growth. They can halt the cell growth and division by linking the cell cycle to DNA damage or repression of genes essential to cell cycle.

In which structure do sperm cells develop?<br> epididymis<br> scrotum<br> testes<br> vas deferens
BARSIC [14]
Testes

Sperm cells are developed in the testes. The process of meiosis occurs here where the cell divides itself into four haploid cells. This particular process is called as spermatogenesis. This occurs in order for the parent or host to distribute those desirable genes fit for the succession of species.
