Question

vinblastine, a drug that inhibits microtubules polymerization, is used to treat some forms of cancer. cancer cells given vinblastine would be unable to carry out which of the following processes? form cleavage furrows during cell division migrate by amoeboid movement separate chromosomes during cell division extend pseudopods maintain the shape of the nucleus

Explanation:

Microtubules are crucial for the formation of the mitotic spindle during cell division, which separates chromosomes. Vinblastine inhibiting microtubule polymerization would prevent this spindle - formation and thus the separation of chromosomes. Cleavage furrows are related to actin - myosin interactions, amoeboid movement and pseudopod extension rely on actin filaments, and the shape of the nucleus is mainly maintained by intermediate filaments.

Answer:

separate chromosomes during cell division
