In eukaryotic cells, DNA is packaged with proteins into structures called chromosomes. What advantage do chromosomes provide the cell?

• They ensure equal division of genetic material when a cell divides.

• They allow random distribution of genetic material when a cell divides.

• They allow all genes to be expressed at the same time.

• They eliminate the need for a nuclear membrane.

The drug colchicine inhibits the formation of spindle fibers during mitosis. If you treat dividing plant cells with colchicine, what would you expect the result to be?

• The chromosomes are halved during cell division. The result is a cell that has half the number of chromosomes than it would normally have.

• The chromosomes do not pull apart in an orderly fashion during cell division. The result is two cells with unequal numbers of chromosomes.

• The chromosomes are separated during prophase. Each of the four daughter cells receives a haploid number of chromosomes.

• The chromosomes do not pull apart during cell division. The result is a cell that has double the number of chromosomes than it would normally have.
