Mitosis is a standard part of the cell cycle, the process that ensures DNA gets duplicated and shared to two daughter cells when a cell replicates. meiosis only occurs when a gamete, sex cell is made
Answer:
Taxol induces the assembly of microtubules, while Nocodazole suppresses tubulin assembly
Explanation:
Taxol and nocodazole are antimitotic drugs, i.e., drugs that inhibit the progression through the cell cycle, which is useful for killing cancer cells. Microtubules are proteins that act as the 'skeleton of the cell', which need to be reorganized when cells replicate. These structures (microtubules) are composed of α and β-tubulin heterodimers which assemble into protofilaments of microtubules. Taxol is an antimitotic drug that induces the formation of microtubules, thereby inhibiting microtubules' reorganization during mitosis. In consequence, cells treated with Taxol enter into apoptosis (i.e., programmed cell death). Moreover, Nocodazole is known to induce microtubule disassembly by interfering with the polymerization of tubulin monomers. In consequence, Nocodazole is useful to depolymerize the microtubule cytoskeleton.
<span>2. What is a red tide, and how does it relate to algal blooms? (10 points)</span>
The options attached to this question are given below:
A. Their masses are always equal.
B. Each element always contributes the same number of atoms.
C. Atoms of different elements always combine in the same way.
D. Their volumes are always equal.
ANSWER
The correct option is C.
John Dalton was an English Chemist, he was the one who proposed the statements that are called Dalton's atomic theory. The theory is made up of five main points, they include the following:
1. All matters are made up of atoms.
2. Atoms of the same elements are identical.
3. Atoms of different elements vary in size and mass.
4. Compounds are formed when elements combined in whole ratios.
5. A chemical reaction result in rearrangement of the atoms in the reactants to form products.
Dalton atomic theory has been extensively revised.
Answer:
Chloroplast and mitochondria
Explanation:
Chloroplasts are organelles present only in plant cells and algae in regions that become illuminated. They are green in color due to the presence of chlorophyll and are responsible for photosynthesis. Chloroplasts produce ATP in the presence of sunlight and therefore the heaviest fractions should contain these organelles.
Mitochondria are cellular organelles related to the process of cellular respiration. They are often referred to as “powerhouses” of cells because, through the cellular respiration process, a large amount of ATP is generated. Mitochondria do not need light to produce ATP, so it is likely that these organelles are present in the lightest fractions.
