Answer:

by inhibiting the mitotic spindle plasticity

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cells, the mitotic spindle is the cytoskeletal structure by which sister chromatids are separated during cell division. Spindle microtubules are known to drive chromosome segregation, while tubulins are Microtubule-Associated Proteins (MAPs) that attach to microtubules in order to modulate their dynamics. Antimitotic drugs are nowadays widely used in chemotherapy to disrupt microtubule assembly and chromosome segregation, thereby producing mitotic arrest and cell death (apoptosis).

What does sustainability mean? please give examples too
satela [25.4K]
Hi there!

Sustainability means that something or someone has the ability to keep something going. 

For example, a plant could have good life sustainability because it has a special poison, keeping predators away from it.

You could be self sustainable by growing your own crops, collecting your own water, and making things you need.

Hope this helps!
