Taxol is an anticancer drug extracted from the Pacific yew tree. In animal cells, Taxol disrupts microtubule formation by binding to microtubules and accelerating their assembly from the protein precursor, tubulin. Surprisingly, this stops mitosis. Specifically, Taxol must affect:

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer will be mitotic spindle formation.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a mode of cell division which is a very complex process. The mitosis includes the microtubules which form the mitotic spindles during cell divisions.

The mitotic spindle helps the separation of the chromatids through tread-milling during anaphase and telophase,  The mitotic spindle formation can be inhibited by an anticancer drug called taxol which interfere with the formation by binding to tubulin and preventing compaction of the microtubules,

Thus, mitotic spindle formation is the correct answer.
