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.

ioda
The Earth turns on its axis every day; it orbits the sun, just like all the other planets in our Solar System. You can cross out D and A, obviously. Which leaves us with answers B and C. Now, C says that the Earth turns clockwise, which is false; when viewed from space, they determined it turned counter-clockwise, which leaves us with B. Hope this helped

Radioactive parent elements will become stable daughter elements through the process of
skad [1K]
The stabilization of a radioactive parent element into a stable daughter element occurs through the process of radioactive decay. The unstable atomic parent emits radiation and loses its energy. This leads to the formation of a daughter element, which is less radioactive or is stable.
