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.

Find if the example is correct or not and explain using CER please. Will give 5/5
ELEN [110]

The Lewis structure the student drew is incorrect. The total number of electrons in bonds and lone pairs is equal to the total number of valence electrons available, then a valid Lewis structure is produced.

The correct structure is the following:

The structure that was drawn by the student was incorrect because the total number of electrons around Oxygen were incorrect, there were 6 instead of 8, which was against the octet rule. The correct structure should have 8 electrons around each atom.

What would you multiply "grams of barium" by to get the units "moles of barium" ?
solmaris [256]
Moles = weight in grams / molecular weight.

So I would divide the "grams of barium" by its molecular weight (which is 137.3) to get "moles of barium". :)
