Answer:

The correct answer is B) the fibers of the mitotic spindle.

Explanation:

The Taxol avoids the mitotic spindle to form, affecting directly the fibers of it. This, therefore, will stop the mitosis process, as the microtubules won't be forming properly.

What will charles darwin have to say about lamarcks theory?
iragen [17]
He would say that Lamarck's theory is wrong. Lamarck's theory stated that traits that are used are passed on to the offspring. In other words, if an organism changes during its lifetime in order to adapt to its environment, then its changes will be passed on to its offspring. This is wrong because this means that organisms pass on traits based on genetic information and not based on the environment of the offspring.

Hope this helps.

How is the mass number calculated for an element? A. The difference between the mass and the protons B. There is no calculation.
Nana76 [90]

The best answer is D.

The mass number of an element is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons. Protons and neutrons both weigh about one atomic mass unit or amu.

The nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and neutrons. Both these two types of particles are almost the same size.  Almost all the mass of an atom (99%) is in the nucleus. Atomic mass therefore is really a measure of the size of the nucleus.
