Taxol is a drug that comes from the bark of a tree that binds and irreversibly stabilizes microtubules. It is often used during chemotherapy to kill dividing cancer cells. How does taxol block cell division?

A-

Taxol prevents the contractile ring from forming and dividing the cell in two.

B-

Taxol prevents DNA replication.

C-

Taxol prevents chromosome condensation during prophase.

D-

Taxol prevents spindle formation and separation of chromatids.

Answer:  D-

Taxol prevents spindle formation and separation of chromatids.

Explanation:  

The Taxol is used as an anticancer drug formulation. It is obtained from yew tree. An anticancer drug affects the cell cycle machinery so as to limit the production of cancer cells.  This drug ceases the microtube formation in animal cells. This prevents the spindle fiber formation and further prevents the mitosis of cancerous cancers as the chromosomes will not separate apart and so abnormal cells will not produce further.

Julie listed out fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy and Fossil fuels are becoming more expensive.

Option C

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Fossil fuels are defined as the type of non renewable energy which is formed as a result of dead and decaying organic matter over thousands of years under pressure and temperature of Earth’s core.

This type of fuels are formed due to the dumping of dead prehistoric organisms like dinosaur and others under the soil under a tremendous pressure and very high temperature, where they are acted upon by bacteria and other chemicals to reduce them into petroleum and coal. These are totally non renewable and they are getting expensive over days due to shortage of availability.
