The condition marfan syndrome results from the production of abnormal elastin, the main component of elstic fibers. predict the potential consequences of defective elastic fibers

Answer:

Marfan's syndrome is a genetic disorder known to affect the connective tissues of the body. Since the connective tissue is widely present in different parts of the body, this disorder produces several abnormalities.

The potential consequences of defective elastic fibers are :

1.Scoliosis

2.Cardiovascular problems such as mitral valve prolapse and aortic aneurysms.

3.Nearsightedness and blurred vision due to the weakening of the ciliary muscles of the eye.

helicase, i think thats it

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
