Answer:

a. disruption of mitotic spindle formation.

Explanation:

Vinblastine is a chemotherapeutic drug which is used to restrict cancer cell proliferation. During metaphase, it binds to microtubular proteins which play a very important role in mitotic spindle formation. If spindles will not form then during anaphase, the sister chromatids will not separate and mitosis will not take place. This is how hyper-proliferative cancerous cells are controlled from dividing and cancer is treated using this drug.

Which of the following supports the hypothesis that life has changed over time?
Alenkasestr [34]

Read these paragraphs and answer the question that follows:

<span>In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people's lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves.Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community.Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all.Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others. They are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. In return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens.</span>

Which sentence best represents the main idea of paragraph (2), the first body paragraph? (5 points)

How many unique zygotes can a couple make?
san4es73 [151]

Each person carries 23 pairs of  chromosomes in every cell that makes up their body, with the exception of gametes, which contain 23 SINGLE chromosomes. So when a sperm and egg meet, they then have 23 pairs. In the process of meiosis 'crossing-over' occurs, which means that the chromosomes get "shuffled". This means that the child can receive random traits not only from the parents, but also the grandparents. so there is about  2⁴⁶ possible pairings, excluding the risk for things such as Down-Syndrome

Mr. Helms was admitted to the hospital with chest pains and shortness of breath. His wife was panicked since her 72-year-old hus
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1- the purpose of blood flow-circulatory system- is to convey  Oxygenated blood, oxygen bonded with haemoglobin in the RBC with Nutrients - and distributed these through the arteries  and capillaries  away from the heart,  to reach the cells and tissues, and transported the wastes of theses cells and tissues , with C02 through the veins back to the heart and the kidney.

2. During diastole,deoxygented blood from the inferior and superior vena cavae entering the R.atrium, passes through the tricuspid valve into the Right Ventricle. Simultaneously, oxygenated blood returning through the pulmonary veins enters the left Atrium,emptied  through the bicuspid valve into the Left.Ventricle.

During systole, the two ventricles contracts. The Right ventricle contracts, the pressure of the blood forces  the tricuspid valve to close,and therefore de -oxygenated blood pushes the pulmonary  valves to open and blood passes through the pulmonary artery to reach the lungs where exchanges of oxygen with carbon dioxide occurs.The blood is now oxygenated and returns to the left atrium via pulmonary veins.

Simultaneously, the left ventricle contracts,the oxygenated blood it contains forced the bicuspid valve to close so that blood is  forced through the aortic valve  to empty into the aorta into  the systemic circulation,branches of the carotid artery supplies the heart from the aorta.

The Whole cycle continues.

The quintessential (most basic/ most important) moment of fertilization of the egg by the sperm cell occurs when
DedPeter [7]

The answer is pronuclei. A pronuclei is the state of the nucleus of either the sperm or the ovum after the sperm has entered the ovum but the two nuclei have not yet fused. When the sperm enters the ovum, the membrane of the sperm pronuclei dissolves hence leaving no barrier for the two genetic materials to combine.
