- The 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_forwardThe diploid number of chromosomes in the mustard plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, is 10. Knowing this, answer the following questions about the stages of mitosis.How many chromosomes will be found in each cell during prophase?arrow_forwardDescribe the role of the following structures or proteins in cell division: a. microtubules b. cohesin protein c. kinetochores d. synaptonemal complexarrow_forward
- In mitosis, why do the chromosomes need to condense in prophase and line up in metaphase? (To be clear, this is asking about the usefulness of these specific actions, not just that those things need to happen as part of the overall process.)arrow_forwardWhat is the name of the structure that the microtubules bind to during mitosis?arrow_forwardWhat would happen if anaphase proceeded even though the sister chromatids were not properly attached to their respective microtubules and lined up at the metaphase plate?arrow_forward

(a) Identify the point in mitosis at which separase cleaves the protein complex that holds sister chromatid pairs together. In normal cells, separase is kept in an inactive state until it is needed. Explain how the progression of cells past sequential cell cycle checkpoints and the activity of enzymes such as separase is controlled by interactions between two major groups of regulatory proteins. (b) Identify an independent variable in the experiment graphed in Figure 1. Based on the data in Figure 1, identify a control that shows that Sepin-1 rather than something else in the culture medium is inhibiting the growth of the cancer cells. (c) Based on the data in Table 1, describe the general relationship between the sensitivity of cells to Sepin-1 and the concentration of separase in the cells. Use the Figure 1 data to calculate the ratio between the amount of Sepin-1 required to kill 50% of the cells in the cell line that is most sensitive to the compound and the…arrow_forward
- In the figure below, mitosis isrepresented by whichnumber? Also which number represents DNA synthesis?arrow_forwardWhy do eukaryotic cells need to go through the elaborate procedure of mitosis rather than simply dividing during interphase? Select as many answers as apply. 1.Daughter cells must be genetically identical to the mother cell, for homeostasis and ordered tissue growth. 2.Bivalent chromosomes must condense and be separated in an orderly fashion, to allow equal distribution of copies into daughter cells 3.Physically dividing the nucleus during interphase would likely lead to gross chromosome breakage and highly unequal assortment of genetic information into daughter cells. 4.Dividing the nucleus during interphase would have the same outcome as mitosis 5.Daughter cells must have half the number of chromosomes after mitosis than the mother cells 6.The homologous pairs of chromosomes need to be separated, to ensure copies go to the daughter cells.arrow_forwardWhat is the definition of mitosis?
