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.

If a plant's leaves developed so that its vascular tissue only contained xylem, how would this affect the rest of the plant's ph
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

If a plant's leaves only contained the vascular tissue xylem, then it will not be possible for the plant to absorb carbon dioxide. As carbon dioxide is required for photosynthesis to occur, this means that the process of photosynthesis will not take place. As a result, the plant will not be able to produce food as photosynthesis is the process by which plants make food. This will result in the plant to die eventually in the end due to lack of food.

1. Which of the following would make the best slogan(s) for mitosis? Explain the reasoning behind your choice
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The Answer is c. Mitosis: Eukaryotic Cell Division and Cloning Specialist.

Explanation:

Mitosis means when a cell divides into two cells. As cells divide, the number of cells doubles. And each cell is an exact duplicate of the original cell, or a clone. Eukaryotic means that everything in the cell is enclosed in a membrane.

Hope this helps!! Have an Awesome day!!! :-)
