It is not possible for Sarah and Thomas to develop cystic fibrosis but it would be possible for one of their children to inherit it. Both Sarah and Thomas are heterozygous and in a heterozygous pair of alleles the dominant allele is the one that will present. Because Sarah and Thomas both have the heterozygous allele combination Ff they are carriers which means that they will not experience symptoms of cystic fibrosis but they could pass cystic fibrosis onto one of their children.
<h2>Mitotic Cell Cycle</h2>
Explanation:
a. Cytochalasin: an inhibitor of actin microfilament
- Cytokinesis is the process by which cytoplasm is divided into two cells hence generation of two daughter cells
- In animal cells the division of cytoplasm starts with the assembly of contractile ring
- Contractile band consists of actin and myosin and catalyze cleavage furrow formation
- Cytochalasin is a drug that blocks the polymerization of actin filament
- When cytochalasin is added dividing cell fails to undergo in cytokinesis due to defective assembly of contractile band
b. Colchicine: an inhibitor of microtubule formation
- Colchicine tightly binds with free tubulin dimer and prevents its polymerization
- In this case mitotic spindle apparatus do not assemble and cells unable to do partitioning of chromosomes into two groups
- Thus cell division is arrested
c. Aphidicolin: an inhibitor of DNA Polymerase activity
- Aphidicolin is used to induce cell cycle arrest via specific inhibition of DNA Polymerase α
- It blocks the cell cycle at early synthesis(S) phase
d. Emetine: an inhibitor of ribosome activity
- It blocks the protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells by binding to small subunit(40 S) of ribosomes
- It interferes with the synthesis and activities of DNA and RNA
