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,

Explain the difference between sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Explain either an advantage or disadvantage for
ira [324]

In asexual reproduction, reproductive organs aren't used but they're used.

advantage of sexual- A lot of genetic variation. since they have DNA of two parents. they can survive more and adapt more.

disadvantage of asexual- diversity is limited. Since the organism only gets the DNA of one parent, they wouldn't be able to really survive if something happened.They would easily be extinct.

Sorry I can't really cone up with better words but I hope you get the idea. it all comes down to natural selection really if you've learned about it. Hope it helped!!!
