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,

Water vapor in the air condenses into liquid droplets when the water reaches ____. A. A warm front B. Its critical elevation C.
Vsevolod [243]

C

Dew point is the temperature of an air mass in which the water vapor (humidity) starts to condense into droplets due to saturation. This is when dew begins to form.

Explanation:

The higher the temperature the higher the water vapor the air mass can hold. This is because the intermolecular spaces between the air molecules become larger with increased temperature hence can accommodate more water vapor molecules in between the air molecules. As the air mass cools the intermolecular spaces become shorter and the relative humidity of the air mass increases. At temperatures where the air mass can't accommodate its humidity, this is called the dew point, and the water vapor begins to condense into droplets (dew).
