Document Summary
Bio discussion 9- taxol cytoskeleton cell cycle cancer. The intruder could be trying to poison someone. Taxines are the active, position constituents in yew plants and have been implicated in animal and human poisonings. Several taxine alkaloids have been isolated and characterized through the use of high performance liquid chromatography, mass spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr). Part ii: most of the go(cid:448)er(cid:374)or"s lunch party just ate pecan pie fi lled with taxines, a potent mixture of poisons, one of which is actually a powerful mitotic inhibitor. A meiotic inhibitor is a drug that inhibits mitosis, or cell division. The cytoskeletal element most susceptible to miotic inhibitors are microtubules: describe the function of mitosis in animal cells. The purpose of it is tissue growth, regeneration, or asexual reproduction. It is important because it is essential for the growth and repair of the body.
