Question

If a chemical that interrupts cell division is added to a culture of human liver tissue, which

process would stop?
(1) meiosis
(2) mitosis
(3) breakdown of glucose
(4) diffusion of nutrients

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is (2) mitosis

Step-by-step explanation:

Colchicine is a chemical that interrupts cell division, and when added to the liver would impact mitosis.

Answer 2

The process that would stop if a chemical that interrupts cell division was added to a culture of human liver tissue is mitosis.
This is because cell division is mitosis and if the chemical stops cell division that means it stops mitosis.
