Answer:

Colchicine inhibits the formation of the microtubules or spindle fibers. Without the spindle fibers the chromosomes cannot move to the poles.

Explanation:

Spindles and microtubules are both important components of cellular division. The structures go hand in hand with each other and are necessary for cellular division to occur.

Spindle fibers form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell. The spindle is necessary to equally divide the chromosomes in a parental cell into two daughter cells during mitosis and meiosis. During mitosis, the spindle fibers are called the mitotic spindle and it is called meiotic spindle during meiosis,

Două întrebări la sistemul respirator​
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

How respiratory system works?

What are the components of respiratory system?

Explanation:

Our lungs expand when we breathe in through our nose and mouth. That air moves down our trachea, through your bronchi and into the bronchioles, where it enters your alveoli where blood capillaries are passes which load oxygen and unload carbondioxide gas which can be removed from our body through exhalation. Nose, mouth, throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx) , windpipe (trachea) , large airways (bronchi)  and lungs are the main components of our respiratory system.

what kind of atem celll can only develop into cells that are closely related to the original stem cell​
Yanka [14]

Multipotent cell is a kind of atem cell that can only develop into cells that are closely related to the original stem cell​.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Our body contains stem cells which help to regenerate or repair a particular cell or tissue during the time of need. There are different types of stem cells which provide as a life saver to the individuals to recreate the tampered organ or tissue.  

The multipotent cells unlike other stem cells have specific functions only. They can develop into cells that are closely related to the original stem cell. On stimuli a multipotent blood stem cell can give rice to related cells but cannot produce a neuron or other kind of cells. Hence multipotent cells are mainly used in transplantation.
