- Question 1) which cytoskeleton supports the cilia in moving mucous laden with foreign particles? Question 2) What will happen in a cell if the DNA ligase gene is mutated Question 3) Describe how is prophase mitosis different from prophase of meiosis I? Question 4) What happens to acetylcholine after it evoked activation of nicotinic acteylcholine receptors in the neuromusclar function?arrow_forward14) The plus-end of the microtubule (select all that apply) a) has the same structure as the minus-end b) connect to kinetochores in the mitotic spindle c) connect to centrosomes in the mitotic spindle d) have proteins that bind and change plus-end dynamics e) None of the abovearrow_forwardAsymmetric cell division often relies on cytoskeletal elements to generate or maintain the asymmetric distribution of cellular factors. In S. cerevisiae, what factor is localized to the bud by myosin motors? In Drosophila neuroblasts, what factors are localized apically by microtubules?arrow_forward
- Need help If the mitotic spindle does not correctly attach to chromosome kinetochores, the spindle assembly checkpoint will be activated. Select all correct outcomes for chromosomes not correctly attached to mitotic spindle A) centrosome duplication will not occur B) M cyclin will be degraded C) APC will be inhibited D) chromosomes will not segregate E) Mad2 will bind to unattached kinetochores F) mitosis will halt at metaphase/anaphase transitionarrow_forwardNEED HELP What structure do animal cells have, and that plant cells do not have, that aids in Mitosis? Explain. a) nucleus b) centriole (c) spindle fibers d) chromatidsarrow_forwardThe anticancer drug paclitaxel (Taxol), derived from the Pacific Yew, has many effects on mitosis. One of its most powerful effects is that it prevents disassembly of the mitotic spindle, which prevents spindle fibers from shortening. Which phase of mitosis would this directly affect? Why would this stop cell division overall and lead to cell death?arrow_forward
- Which of the following does not occur during M phase in animal cells? replication of the DNA (a) (b) (d) condensation of chromosomes attachment of chromosomes to microtubules breakdown of nuclear envelope separation of the sister chromatidsarrow_forward28. When studying living cells in a laboratory, rescarchers sometimes use drugs as a way to make cells remain at a particular stage of the cell cycle A drug that inhibits cytokinesis would leave cells arrested at which phase in the cell cycle? A) Interphase B) Telophase C) Anaphase D) Prophase E) Metaphase 29. An epigenetics modification is where: A) The DNA sequence of a gene is changed, altering gene expression B) A chemical modification (ie methylation) of DNA occurs that alters gene expression C) Gene expression is permanently changed over the course of many generations D) Both A and C E) Both B and C 30. A very rare dominant allele that causes the little finger to be bent has a penetrance value of 80% This means that? A) 80% of the total population does not have a bent little figure B) 80% of all heterozygotes carrying the allele will have a bent little finger C) 80% of the total population carries the allede for bent little finger D) 80% of all homozygous individuals carrying the…arrow_forward1. (a) Describe the generalized model of the cell cycle. Demonstrate how cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases can regulate the cell cycle. (b). Describe three ways in which cells lose their ability to regulate their growth to become cancerous.arrow_forward
