If you were a researcher studying taxol, you would be most interested in cells found in what phase of mitosis?

Anaphase of mitosis

Explanation:

Taxol: is a drug that prevents growth of cancer cells by interfering with the disassembling process of microtubules during the Anaphase of mitosis. The drug is able to bind to microtubules and freeze them.

Microtubules: are filamentous proteins and are made up of tubulin subunits. Microtubules form part of the cell's cytokeleton which is vital for maintaining the shape of the cell and transportation of organelles and other molecules inside the cell.

Anaphase of mitosis: microtubules from opposite poles of mitotic cells attached at the kinetochore of sister chromatids pull the each sister chromatid to opposite poles thus pulling them apart. The disassembling of the microtubules causes the sister chromatids to pull apart.
