Answer:
The options are missing, the options are:
A) prevents the duplication of centrosomes. B) prevents nuclear envelope fragmentation C) prevents shortening of microtubules. D) prevents attachment of the microtubules to the kinetochore. E) prevents nucleosome formation
The answer is C
Explanation:
Cell division is a characteristics of all living cells. Whether meiosis or mitosis, the chromosomes separate in the Anaphase stage. Prior to the anaphase stage is the metaphase, where spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of each chromosome and aligns them at the centre of the cell called METAPHASE PLATE.
Thus, since the aligning of chromosomes at the metaphase plate has to do with attachment of microtubules to chromosomes' kinetochores, the drug that will hinder movement of chromosomes to opposite poles will not stop formation of microtubules. Instead, it will prevent the formed microtubules attached to each chromosome from shortening, as it is the shortening of microtubules that facilitates the pulling apart of the chromosomes they are attached to.
Answer:
Elevated uric acid levels lead to a condition known as "Hyperuricemia."
Explanation:
This condition occurs when there is an excessive presence of uric acid in the blood. It can be divided into:
- Primary hyperuricemia
- Secondary hyperuricemia
Primary hyperuricemia occurs when the kidneys are not able to eliminate uric acid in an efficient/proper way. This can be due to the consumption of foos that are very high in purines. For example, liver, gravy, alcoholic beverages, and some vegetables such as spinach and asparagus.
Secondary hyperuricemia may occur to several possible reasons. For instance, kidney disease, in which the kidney is not able to eliminate uric acid; chemotherapy, which may lead to the accumulation of uric acids; or medications that increase the level of uric acid in the blood.
Symptoms include:
- Fever.
- Extreme and abnormal fatigue.
- Joint inflammation.
- Urination problems.
- Kidney stones.
To prevent this disease and as part of a treatment (along with medications prescribed by a doctor), a patient should opt to consume foods that are low in purine, such as lettuce, tomatoes, cereals, fruits, milk, eggs, amongst others.
