Question
Colchicine is a medication most commonly used to treat inflammatory arthritis called gout. Colchicine interferes with the functioning of the spindle apparatus during mitosis by preventing the chromatids from lining up in the centre of the cell. In a cell, the spindle fibres are used to control the movement and segregation of chromosomes during division.
Which stage of mitosis is affected by Colchicine?
_______(choose between: stages 1 and 5, stages 2 and 6, stages 3 and 7 or stages 4 and 8) which are in ________ (choose between: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphrase or telophase)
