Some cancer-fighting drugs disrupt the cell cycle by preventing the formation
of spindle fibers. Which specific phase of the cell cycle is such a drug most
likely to disrupt?

Respuesta :

I think during mitosis. Cancer fighting cells disrupt during the time when cells are splitting.

When cells starts to divide and replicate as their natural cycle, they change from their resting state to one known as the G1 phase. In this phase, cells have many important checkpoint mechanisms to guarantee that the cell is healthy enough to move to the next stage of the cell cycle.  When all these mechanisms fail due to genetic mutations in cell, cells can forward through G1 phase unrestricted and can ultimately lead to cancer.

What Is Cancer?

Cancer occurs due abnormal cells grow out of control. Untreated cancers can leads serious illness and death. Cells become cancer cells because of deoxyribonucleic acid damage.

Drugs such as Taxol have been used very effectively in chemotherapy because they kill microtubles and inhibit the mitotic spindle. This inhibits cancer cells from dividing and causes them to die.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is in every cell and it guide all its actions. In a normal cell, when DNA is damaged the each cell either repairs the dies. In cancer cells, the damaged DNA is not repaired but the cell does not die like it should. Instead of this, the cell goes on generating new cells that the body does not need. These new cells all have the same damaged deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as the first abnormal cell does.
