The drug cytochalasin B blocks the function of actin. Which of the following aspects of the cell cycle would be most disrupted b

Sladkaya [172]

The correct answer is: E) cleavage furrow formation and cytokinesis

Cytochalasin B (cytos-cell and chalasis-relaxation) is a molecule which inhibit network formation by actin filaments by blocking monomer addition. As a result, itshortens actin filaments. This molecule is involved in cytoplasmic division where it blocks the formation of contractile microfilaments. One of the microfilament’s function includes cytokinesis and formation of cleavage furrow so these functions are affected by cytochalasin B.

How does increased metamorphism affect schist?

garik1379 [7]

Explanation:

Metamorphism describes how one type of rock is changed into another. Schist, a metamorphic rock is produced by adding heat and pressure to mudstone or shale, thus it is metamorphic; the extreme pressures during its creation fire the quartz grains, flat minerals and feldspar into large-grained rock. As metamorphism increases, i.e. pressure and temperature, the size of the crystals and how coarse the folding or foliation increases.

Which of the following best explains ways in which fish and mammals differ? (2 points)

VLD [36.1K]

The answer is Fish are ectothermic and lay eggs to reproduce, while mammals are endothermic and give live birth to offspring.

Through the elimination process:
* Fish are invertebrates and have scales and paired fins, while mammals are vertebrates and have fur or hair. - Fish are vertebrates!
* Fish are endothermic and have gills, while mammals are ectothermic and have lungs. - Fish are ectothermic (cold-blooded), and mammals are endothermic (warm-blooded)!
* Fish have streamlined bodies and three-chambered hearts, while mammals are bipedal and have four-chambered hearts. - Fish have four chambered hearts and not all mammals are bipedal!

This leaves choice: Fish are ectothermic and lay eggs to reproduce, while mammals are endothermic and give live birth to offspring. All of this is true, but it should be taken into consideration that some fish give live birth and some mammals lay eggs, but this is the most possible choice among all mentioned.
