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.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × 1023 of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

Molar mass MgSO₄.7 H₂O = 246.52 g/mol

Moles =\frac{mass}{molar \;mass}

Moles =\frac{13.0 g}{246.52}

0.0527 moles

Molar mass MgSO₄ = 120.4 g/mol

Mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate :

( 0.0527 x 120.4 ) => 6.349 g
