Answer:
The correct answer is - disrupting microtubule assembly and proper formation of the mitotic spindle and the kinetochore.
Explanation:
Vinblastine is known for treating cancer cells by sending them to apoptosis. It interferes with the synthesis of microtubules. It binds to the microtubular proteins of the mitotic spindle that causes disrupting microtubule assembly.
It also prevents from proper formation of the mitotic spindle and the kinetochore which is essential to separating chromosomes during anaphase. They arrest mitosis and cause cell death.
Answer:
B) All microorganisms do not produce glucose via glycolysis,
there are alternate pathways that produce glucose.
Answer:
Women who carry one copy of the mutated gene still have normal color vision because they have another copy, which is not mutated, in the other X chromosome that will be the dominant one. As a result, the women are carriers of the mutated gene but not color blind.
Explanation:
Colorblindness is a sex-linked mutation. A woman has two X chromosomes, while a man has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The mutated gene that causes color blindness is on the X chromosome, and it is OPN1LW. So if a woman has one mutated OPN1LW in one of her two X chromosomes, the OPN1LW gene in the other X chromosome will be the dominant one stopping the woman from being colorblind.
In the case of men, as they only have one X chromosome, if there is a mutation on the OPN1LW in the X chromosome, the men will be colorblind because there is no extra copy of the gene, as it is in women.
Answer:Radiometric dating allows us to indirectly date fossils up to billions of years old based on minerals in surrounding volcanic strata. The correct option is D.
Explanation:
Radiometric dating was first used by geologist after being published by Bertram Bollywood in 1907. During volcanic eruption, some minerals ( carbon) are trapped within the volcanic strata. These minerals are made up of radioactive isotopes which are unstable as they form decay products with a known constant rate of decay. This enables them to :
- access information about the absolute age of rocks,
- date a wide range of natural and man-made materials
- know even the age of earth. I hope this helps. Thanks
