Marine sponges contain an enzyme that prevents the separation of chromatids during mitosis. Which stage of the cell cycle would be directly prevented by this enzyme

The anaphase of the Mitotic phase

Explanation:

During the anaphase, the proteins (cohesins) that bind sister chromatids together are cleaved to produce two identical daughter chromosomes (meaning each chromosome contains the exact copy of the same genetic material). These identical chromosomes are then separated by a structure known as mitotic spindle. Individual mitotic spindle attaches itself to each chromosome which are then pulled to opposite poles/"sides" of the cell.

Thus, if an enzyme is going to prevent separation of chromatids during mitosis, the enzyme would do so at the beginning of this process, preventing the cleavage of cohesins which would prevent the separation of the chromatids and subsequently prevent this anaphase from occurring.

the overall balanced equation

6co2 + 6h2o > c6h12o6 + 6o2

sunlight energy

where: co2 = carbon dioxide

h2o = water

light energy is required

c6h12o6 = glucose

o2 = oxygen

the most common energy conversion is from kinetic energy to potential energy, and then from potential energy to kinetic energy.

later on comes the heat energy, mechanical energy, and other energy conversions.

this energy conversion is so common that we can find it in our day to day lives as well.

- one of the most common energy conversions involves the changing of potential energy to kinetic energy or kinetic energy to potential energy
