The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A) anaphase

B) prophase

C) telophase

D) metaphase

E) interphase

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Colchicine is a drug obtained from the <em>Colchicum autumnale</em> which is a poisonous European flowering plant. The drug is used to treat joint swelling and gout.

Colchicine shows its effect during the cell division cycle especially during the division of nuclear content. When the cell is in metaphase and is preparing for the anaphase, the colchicine inhibits the polymerisation of the microtubules. The inhibition of microtubules inhibits the assembly of the mitotic spindle as a result of this the DNA do not move into new daughter cells.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Use the periodic table to answer this question. Decomposing calcium carbonate yields calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. What info
erik [133]
This may help you

First write and balance the equation, being: CaCO3 - CaO + CO2 Then, using the periodic table, find the molecular masses of CaCO3 and of CaO, finding their ratio. That will be 100g:56g or 0.1kg:0.056kg. Since you have 4.7kg of CaCO3, it corresponds to Xkg of CaO. Making x the subject, it should be X= 4.7*0.056/100=0,002632

Answer:

215 amu

Explanation:

In the reactants:

There is 1 iron atom, 3 chlorine atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms and 3 oxygen atoms:

  • Fe: 56 × 1 = 56
  • Cl: 35 × 3 = 105
  • H: 1 × 6 = 6
  • O: 16 × 3 = 48

56 + 105 + 6 + 48 = 215 amu

Hope this helps!

Examine this reaction:
Alina [70]

Answer:

The normal amount of disaccharide would be produced, but fewer monosaccharides would be produced.

Explanation:

The first reaction, the conversion of starch into disaccharides, is catalyzed by the enzyme amylase. <u>Since amylase is present in a normal amount, a normal amount of disaccharides will be produced.</u>

In the second reaction, these disaccharides will be transformed into monosaccharides by a disaccharidase. However, since t<u>here is less disaccharidase, there will be fewer monosaccharides produced than if it was a normal amount of amylase.</u>

4NH3 + 3O2 mc004-1.jpg 2N2 + 6H2O
ioda
Assuming the complete question is;
Consider the balanced equation below;
4NH3 + 3O2 = 2N2 +6H2O
What is the mole ratio of NH3 to N2;
From the balanced equation; the mole ratio of NH3 to N2 is 4:2.
The mole ratio is the ratio of moles of one substance to the number of moles of another substance in a balanced equation. In the above equation; 4 moles of ammonia requires 3 moles of oxygen to produce two moles of nitrogen and six moles of water.
