How do Taxol and Nocodazole affect microtubules, and subsequently the developing organism?

Biology
1 answer:
blondinia [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Taxol induces the assembly of microtubules, while Nocodazole suppresses tubulin assembly  

Explanation:

Taxol and nocodazole are antimitotic drugs, i.e., drugs that inhibit the progression through the cell cycle, which is useful for killing cancer cells. Microtubules are proteins that act as the 'skeleton of the cell', which need to be reorganized when cells replicate. These structures (microtubules) are composed of α and β-tubulin heterodimers which assemble into protofilaments of microtubules. Taxol is an antimitotic drug that induces the formation of microtubules, thereby inhibiting microtubules' reorganization during mitosis. In consequence, cells treated with Taxol enter into apoptosis (i.e., programmed cell death). Moreover, Nocodazole is known to induce microtubule disassembly by interfering with the polymerization of tubulin monomers. In consequence, Nocodazole is useful to depolymerize the microtubule cytoskeleton.

torisob [31]

Answer:

the process described in the question, described by Alessandro Volta refers to superconductivity, in which two metals connected by a conductive liquid produce a continuous transfer of electrons, these metals are considered superconductors since they do not have electrical resistance and this is always maintained and when the temperature is adequate, different from terms such as the resistance that is the impediment to the flow passage, or to the electric static in which the energy accumulation is maintained without movement or transfer or the electric current that is the energy in the same metal.

Why is it necessary for DNA to replicate as the first step in mitosis?
Zepler [3.9K]

DNA is a macromolecule composed of nucleotides which carry the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of the cell. One of the most important characteristics of DNA is its ability to make several copies of it (to be copied via the process of replication). When the cell divides into two it must carry each copy of DNA into the divided cells. Through replication, the DNA transfers the information necessary for creating an exact copy of it in the new daughter cell. The transfer of the DNA to the next generation of cells is essential for the function of the whole organism.

<span>DNA replication will make the organism to reproduce the genetic code and transfer it to the next generation (through the reproduction) and thus, to continue the species. </span>
