Paclitaxel (Taxol) is an anticancer drug which effects mitosis. Specifically, it prevents disassembly of the mitotic spindle, which prevents spindle fibers from shortening. Which phase of mitosis would this directly effect? Why would this stop cell division overall and lead to cell death?
The drug chloral hydrate prevents elongation of microtubules by preventing the addition of new subunits to the growing end. During which stage of mitosis would chloral hydrate be most harmful?
A scientist studying a group of somatic cells notices that when the cell cycle is complete, half of the daughter cells have no chromosomes and the other half have 92 chromosomes. In what phase of mitosis did an error most likely occur? Explain.
The phases of mitosis are shown in Figure 6.4. Mitosis is the type of nuclear division that occurs when an animal or plant grows larger and when injury heals. Two daughter cells result because there is only one round of division, and it keeps the chromosome number constant (same as the parent cell). The prophase cell in Figure 6.4 has the same number of chromosomes as the telophase nuclei in Figure 6.4. Explain the different appearance of the chromosomes.
List in each blank the description of events associated with each stage of mitosis in addition to the preparatory stage Interphase. Some events and structures occur only in plant cells and some in animal cells. Mark these events in the list with an asterisk.
A hypothetical poison prevents transcription factors from binding to the gene for tubulin proteins. What impact would this have on mitosis, and why?
If cells in the process of dividing are subjected to colchicine, a drug that interferes with the functioning of the spindle apparatus, at which stage will mitosis be arrested?
