Colchicine is a toxin that binds to tubulin proteins and prevents microtubules from elongating. What effect might this have on d

lianna [129]2 years ago

The effect Colchicine might have on dividing cells is that the duplicated chromosomes might not be able to segregate into daughter nuclei.

Colchicine is an alkaloid that attaches to tubulin and prevents it from polymerization to microtubules. As we know that Microtubules are a component of the cytoskeleton of a cell that aids in molecular mobility inside the cell.

During cell division, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, which are then connected to microtubules. The chromosomes are separated into daughter cells by microtubules.

When these cells are treated with colchicine, tubulin polymerization to microtubules may not occur, and the chromosomes containing daughter nucleic might not be separated.

Answer:

Hypomagnesemia

Explanation:

  • Hypomagnesemia is a condition of low magnesium levels in the body and because magnesium acts as an active cardiovascular electrolyte, its deficiency leads to cardiac complications such as dysrhythmias.
  • People who suffer from myocardial infarction are often treated for hypomagnesemia to improve their cardiac conduction, however, hypomagnesemia can also develop in chronic alcoholics.
  • The other reasons that could lead to the condition faced by Robert Stevens can be hypokalaemia however, as he is also chronic alcoholic hypomagnesemia is the main cause.

Bipedalism in humans, when compared to knuckle walking in the African apes, represents what type of process or trait?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: A. ancestral trait

Explanation:

Bipedalism can be define as a form of terrestrial locomotion, in which the organism moves with the help of two rear limbs or legs. Typical bipedal movements includes the hoping, running and walking. The evolution of the human bipedalism occurred in primates in about 4 million years ago with Sahelanthropus (oldest human ancestors or African Apes). The human ancestor Sahelanthropus led to the morphological alterations in the human skeleton including changes in the bones such as size of the bones of the foot, knee size, shape and orientation of the vertebral column, and leg length. All these changes contributed to the bipedalism.
