Colchicine inhibits the formation of aster rays, which normally pull the duplicated chromosomes to the sides allowing a cell wall to develope down the middle.

How do you breed tetraploid plants?
One method involves soaking the buds or seeds in a chemical called colchicine, this induces genetic mutations in the DNA of the cells.
Body cells contain 2 sets of chromosomes what are they called?
Polyploidy Polyploidy is having any number of extra sets of chromosomes. For a diploid organism, having two diploid sets would make it a tetraploid. For a haploid, having two haploid sets would make it diploid. For a tetraploid, having two tetraploid sets would make it octaploid.
Why are human reproductive cells haploid?
The same reason any creature that uses sexual reproduction: a means to give half of their chromosomes to mix with another half in order to create a genetically diverse offspring.
Is a liver cell a haploid or a diploid cell?
diploid foolall are diploid except sperms and eggs
How are diploid cells represent in shorthand?

What are diploid cellls?
Diploid cells are cells with full chromosomal number.Haploids are with half chromosomal number.
How many chromosomes will a hybrid have by crossing two somatic cells?
If both parents were diploid, then it would be tetraploid (4X).

Plant Cells are eukaryotic cells.
What is the study of cellls?
Cytology is the study of cells.
Why are cells arrested with colchicine during metaphase of mitosis when creating a karyotype?
colchicine is an metaphase arresting substance.

Which cells of an animal are diploid and which are hapliod?
Diploid cells are regular cells and haploid cells are sex cells.
Why do your cells need glucose?
cellls need glucose to get energy
How does fertilization relate to diploid cells?
Fertilization restores diploid cells.
