A specific kind of mutation causes defective proteins that participate in the formation of the cleavage furrow. Which of the following mitotic phases will be affected?

Cytokinesis

Explanation:

The cleavage furrow is a 'pinching' or invagination in the cell membrane that occurs before the cell cytoplasm splits in two to form two daughter cells.

This occurs towards the end of mitosis, during telophase. This means that cytokinesis will not be able to proceed properly. Cytokinesis is when the cytoplasm divides to form two new cells. Without the cleavage furrow, the cell is not divided in two, and the new daughter cells cannot form. Therefore, cytokinesis cannot proceed properly.

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
