tus, at which stage will mitosis be arrested?
Chemistry

Orlov [11]3 years ago

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.

What discovery occurred after Mendeleev’s periodic table was published that allowed Moseley to improve it?
Nina [5.8K]
Mendeleev
The next milestone in the development of the periodic table was set by the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev, who is generally acknowledged as the “father” of the modern periodic table. Mendeleev wrote out the names of the elements, along with their atomic weights and other properties, on cards, which he then laid out in rows and columns much like a game of solitaire. When the elements were ordered according to atomic weight, Mendeleev, like de Chancourtois and Newlands, could see that certain chemical properties were repeated periodically; however, not all the elements fit this pattern neatly. Mendeleev's solution was to move certain elements to new positions, despite their accepted weight, in order to group them with other elements sharing similar properties. (Nearly half a century later, after the periodic table was revised according to atomic number rather than atomic weight, these elements fell into place.)

Mendeleev's work on periodic law—which states that the properties of elements recur periodically as their atomic weights increase—was announced in 1869. At about the same time, a German chemist named Julius Lothar Meyer independently arrived at a periodic table that was remarkably similar to Mendeleev's. Unfortunately for Meyer, Mendeleev presented his work to the scientific community first. However, Mendeleev's table was also superior to Meyer's because he left a number of empty spaces to account for elements that were yet to be discovered.

Which is one way that waves erode coastlines?
topjm [15]

Answer:

Four main processes erode the destructive waves; hydraulic action, compression, abrasion and attrition. Hydraulic Action is the sheer force of water crashing off the coastline causing the material to dislodge and be carried away by the sea.

YOU DO:
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

0.7712 L

Explanation:

Molarity = 0.25M

Volume = ?

Mass = 5.0 g

The relationship between these quantities is given as;

Molarity = Number of moles / Volume

Volume = Number of moles / Molarity

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass

Molar mass of LiF = 25.939 g/mol

Number of moles  = 5 / 25.939 = 0.1928 mol

Volume = 0.1928 / 0.25 = 0.7712 L
