Descriptions. Colchicine is used to prevent or treat attacks of gout (also called gouty arthritis). This condition is caused by too much uric acid in the blood. An attack of gout occurs when uric acid causes inflammation (pain, redness, swelling, and heat) in a joint.he chance of serious side effects is much lower with the first (preventive) kind of treatment. Because some of colchicine's side effects can be very serious, you should discuss with your doctor about the benefits that this medicine can do as well as the risks of using it.
Budding. Budding is another type of asexual reproduction. This happens when an organism forms a growth that develops into a new organism and then breaks off. For example, a cellular organism, like a yeast cell, can grow a bud filled with its own cells.
Reproduction is the process of generating offspring. There are two main types of reproduction: sexual and asexual. Some organisms reproduce by only one type of reproduction and others can reproduce by both.This chapter looks at the differences, advantages and disadvantages of sexual and asexual reproduction.he type of reproduction where cells from only one parent are used, is called asexual. Only genetically-identical organisms are produced by this type of reproduction. Evolutionary asexual reproduction came before sexual reproduction.
