Homework Answers
Answer:- Drugs/chemicals that affect the movements of chromosomes during mitosis affect normal cell division, called mitotic inhibitors.
Explanation:- mitotic inhibitors disrupt microtubules
(structures that pull the chromosomes apart during cell
division).
- Mitotic inhibitors are used in cancer treatment, because cancer
cells are able to grow and last spread through the body through
continuous uncontrolled mitotic division.
- Thus, cancer cells are more sensitive to inhibition of mitosis
than normal cells.

Why are chromosomes in their chromatin form prior to mitosis (during interphase)? Why would DNA wind tighter around histones prior to the start of mitosis? Is cancer caused by errors during mitosis or is it caused by something else? Hint: why is it so difficult to treat cancer? How do bacterial cells reproduce? How does it compare to eukaryotes (what’s the same /different)?

3. Many chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer work by modifying the mitotic spindle. Given the short description of the two drugs here, describe how these drugs are effective in stopping cancer cells and where in the cell cycle they are effective. Paclitaxel works by interfering with normal microtubule breakdown during cell division and Vinblastine works by binding tubulin, thereby inhibiting the assembly of microtubules. 4. A researcher has developed three different cell lines that are able to each ignore...

The picture below represents a cell during metaphase of mitosis. The chromosomes are represented in red and the mitotic spindle is represented in green. BO ! A. The cell is stuck in metaphase because a checkpoint has been activated. Why was the checkpoint triggered? B. What could have happened to this cell without this checkpoint? There are three main checkpoints during the cell cycle. One checkpoint occurs at the end of G1 phase and involves the protein p53. If p53...
