Chemistry

Orlov [11]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Question 2<br> Describe the energy in coal and the way in which it’s converted to electrical energy.
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Its rich carbon content gives coal most of its energy content. When coal is burned in the presence of air or oxygen, heat energy is released. This energy can then be converted to other forms of useful energy. Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity.

Hope this helps! :)

Do atoms lend and borrow electrons from inner shells
zaharov [31]
False. They don't borrow electrons at all. They already have their respective electron affinities. This is called as electronegativity, and it's an occurence where it already has its own from its actual structure. It never borrows any electrons at all.

The cycling affords water to in solid, liquid and the vapor form.

From the cycle show, W represents precipitation.

  • During precipitation, water in the atmosphere begins to fall.
  • U is evaporation
  • X is transpiration.
