What does it mean when chromosomes are said to condense during prophase of mitosis? How long are chromosomes after condensation is complete? How big is a typical dividing cell in a root or shoot? If a chromosome were still 20 μm long after condensation, would it be possible for division to pull half of it to one end of the cell and the other half to theother end?

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?
The image shows a section of a root tip of Broad Bean with cells from the region of cell division, just behind the root cap. Five cells have been numbered (1-5). Which statements accurately describe the mechanism by which the cells ensure that chromosomes are passed successfully to the next generation? Select ALL that apply. A - Cell 2 is undergoing anaphase to separate the duplicated chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell. B - Cell 1 lacks chromosomes and cannot contribute genetic material to future cells. C - Cells 4 and 5 have recently divided and are now haploid, containing half of a full set of chromosomes after division. D - Cells 4 and 5 have recently divided and have a cell plate that formed between them. E - Cell 3 is providing a mechanism for increasing genetic diversity in the daughter cells.
A section of elodea leaf is stained and examined under a microscope. The total number of cells in each stage of the cell cycle is as follows: Interphase- 150 Prophase- 20 Prometaphase- 11 Metaphase- 6 Anaphase- 5 Telophase- 1 If the complete cell cycle in an elodea leaf is 24 hrs. What is the average duration of metaphase in the cycle. Assume no cells are in G0.
