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.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (sporophyte);

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
