Microtubule depolymerizing drug such as colchicine is expected to
inhibit spindle formation during mitosis
inhibit cytokinesis
allow mitosis beyond metaphase
induce formation of multiple contractile rings
A.
inhibit spindle formation during mitosis
Colchicine is an alkaloid derived from the autumn crocus, Colchicum autumnale. It inhibits spindle formation in cells during mitosis so that chromosomes cannot separate during anaphase, thus inducing multiple sets of chromosomes. It does not affect cytokinesis.
