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

Biology

blondinia [14]2 years ago

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.

jekas [21]

Coyote population change due to change occur in the climate.

<h3>How coyote population changed?</h3>

The modern Northeast (Maryland) coyote population changed from the historic (North Dakota) population over the past 70 years due to climate change as well as change that occurs in their genes. Climate change is the major factor that is responsible for change in coyote population.

So we can conclude that coyote population change due to change occur in the climate.

What contributed to the specification in Darwin's Finch theory
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

On his visit to the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin discovered several species of finches that varied from island to island, which helped him to develop his theory of natural selection.

Darwin's finches are a classical example of an adaptive radiation. Their common ancestor arrived on the Galapagos about two million years ago. During the time that has passed the Darwin's finches have evolved into 15 recognized species differing in body size, beak shape, song and feeding behaviour.

What does a limiting factor do?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

A limiting factor is anything that constrains a population's size and slows or stops it from growing. Some examples of limiting factors are biotic, like food, mates, and competition with other organisms for resources.
