Answer is anaphase

When a dividing eukaryotic cell is treated with a mitotic inhibitor drug, the drug disrupts microtubules. Microtubules are the structures that pull the chromosomes apart when a cell divides. The drug inhibits shortening of spindle microtubules during anaphase stage of mitosis. As a result cell division stops at anaphase stage. Mitotic inhibitors are used in cancer treatment preventing cell from division.

I believe the correct answer is the anaphase of M stage also called Mitosis

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The cell cycle of eukaryotes has 4 stages; G1, S, G2 and M phases. It is during the M phase of the cell cycle that there is shortening of the microtubules to pull the separate single chromatids towards different poles so that the cell can undergo cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm).

<h2>Further Explanation:</h2>

Before the cell cycle starts, the cell is usually at rest in a neglidgible G0 phase. It then enters the G1 phase which lasts for around 4 hours. The cell also rests here, prepares and increases the number of organelles. The cell is also checked for any inconsistencies and it does not proceed if errors are found in the DNA. It then enters the S phase where it lasts for around 8 hours and there is doubling of chromosomes in the cell. DNA synthesi occurs. It then proceeds to the G2 phase where again it is checked for any errors and there is increase in organelles.

It is in the M or Mitosis phase of where the cell is considered to be truly dividing. It starts with the prophase stage where the cell prepares for the upcoming division. The chromatin condenses, the nuclear envelope disintergrates and the nucleolus disappears. The spindles begin to disappear in preparation for the next stage of Metaphase. In this stage, the chromatins that had previously been condensed line the equator due to a pull force by kinetochore fibers. Their centromeres then align exactly at the center of the cell. This is the shortest phase of the cycle. Anaphase is the next stage and in this stage, the sister chromatids are pulled on opposite poles by the spindle fibers/microtubules. It is in this stagethat cancer drugs target the cell division by stopping the shortening of these microtubules that pull the chromatins towards different poles. In the last stage called Telophase, the cell is essentially divided and a nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromatin materials on the opposite sides. The cell then undergoes cytokinesis where the cytoplasm pinches and separates forming 2 new daughter cells completing the cell cycle. The cell lasts in this M stage for 11 hours. It enters the G1 phase afresh where it rests and prepares for the next cycle.

Choose the scientific question. A. Would you like to have a frog as a pet? B. Who is the smartest biologist alive today? C. Whic
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D)  How is the number of frogs in Massachusetts affected by pollution</em>

Explanation:

A scientific question can be described as a question which can be answered through the scientific method of research. Based on the scientific question, a hypothesis can be formulated. For example, for the option D, the hypothesis can be 'if the pollution increases, then the number of frogs decreases.' A hypothesis is a tentative statement which can be tested through experiments. Based on these experiments, results are formulated and conclusions are drawn. The question mentioned in option D can be answered through this method hence, it is the correct option.

ladessa [460]

Lobe-finned fishes are characterized by lobes in their fins in addition to the basic characteristics of fishes.

<h3>What are lobe-finned fishes?</h3>

Lobe-finned fishes are a group of fish known as Sarcopterygii. They possess the basic characteristics of fishes such as swim bladder, lateral lines, etc.

They are a sister group of ray-finned fishes. In addition, lobe-finned fishes possess the following characteristics:

  • lobed fins
  • enameled teeth

Prophase has a series of checkpoints that determine whether a cell will undergo all stages of mitosis. true or false
Black_prince [1.1K]
The answer is false. All cells that had undergo in the beginning of mitosis, will be undergoing to the whole stages of mitosis. Mitosis is the part of the cell cycle, wherein it results into equally distributed chromosomes and separated two new nuclei. Typically there are five stages of Mitosis.
