Taxol is a common drug used in cancer treatments that acts as a microtubule stabilizer to inhibit cell division. If a researcher wanted to see how this drug affects development, which model organism would they use and why?

Danio rerio or Zebrafish

Explanation:

Taxol is considered an anticancer drug which can inhibit cancer by interfering with the machinery of cell division. The drug is obtained from the bark of Taxus baccata.

The taxol interferes with the formation of the mitotic spindle by inhibiting the process of microtubule formation or causes depolymerisation.

The model organism that should be selected to observed the mechanism of taxol would be a transparent organism which can easily allow the passing light.

That transparent model organism used by the biologist is Zebrafish as the zebrafish at its embryonic stage is transparent and the mutant produced which lacks the pigments of the zebrafish.

Thus, Zebrafish is the correct answer.

because it is and it's just life man

1. loamy sand is about 80% sand with 10% clay and defined mostly by sand particles with some clay to provide structure and fertility. the sand particles are easily visible and the soil holds structure but breaks apart easily.

2. scott sand can improve his soil quality by incorporating more silt and organic matter into the soil. peat moss and organic matter can also be incorporated.
