Answer:

Colchicine

Explanation:

Colchicine is an alkaloid derived from the autumn crocus (Colchicum autumnale).

The effect of colchicine, which inhibits microtubule polymerization and thus assembly of the mitotic spindle, demonstrates the presence of another checkpoint in the cell cycle. When colchicine is added to cultured cells, the cells enter mitosis and arrest with condensed chromosomes. With increasing time, a large fraction of the cells in a culture become arrested, thus permitting determination of the size, shape, and number of mitotic chromosomes — that is, the karyotype  — in multiple cells. A checkpoint control somehow senses when the mitotic spindle has not assembled properly and prevents activation of the APC polyubiquitination system that normally leads to degradation of the anaphase inhibitor, required for onset of anaphase, and later to the degradation of mitotic cyclins, required for the exit from mitosis. As a result, MPF activity remains high, chromosomes remain condensed, and the nuclear envelope does not re-form.

Which describes the f2 generation in Mendel’s experiments
GenaCL600 [577]

I believe the best way to explain is that three times as many tall plants as short plants. The parental generation is the first set of parents crossed, the F1 generation consists of all the offspring from the parents, while the F2 generation consists of the offspring from allowing the F1 individuals to interbreed. From the Mendel's experiment the F2 generation results from self-pollination of F1 plants, and contained 75% of tall plants and 25% of short plants.

How can a mutation be inherited
const2013 [10]

Somatic mutation, genetic alteration acquired by a cell that can be passed to the progeny of the mutated cell in the course of cell division. Somatic mutations differ from germ line mutations, which are inherited genetic alterations that occur in the germ cells (i.e., sperm and eggs).
