the growth of cancer. It belongs to a class of chemotherapy drugs referred to as plant alkaloids. The alkaloid is one of the taxane type drugs that originally developed from the yew tree. It is known as antimicrotuble agents. This agent takes the microtubule structure within the cell and causes the cell to die. Drug Description Docetaxel is an antineoplastic agent that belongs to the taxoid

distinguished from each other. Only later do they become separately visible. Anaphase 1- During this stage of meiosis‚ the cell starts to lengthen. The two homologs of each chromosome pair separate and move toward opposite poles‚ drawn by the microtubules of the spindle apparatus. This contrasts with‚ where the sister chromatids of each homolog separate and move towards opposite poles. Here‚ the chromatids remain together as one complete‚ replicated chromosome. Telophase 1- At each pole‚ there
