The structure of paclitaxel, a widely used mitotic inhibitor. A mitotic inhibitor is a drug that inhibits mitosis, or cell division. These drugs disrupt microtubules, which are structures that pull the cell apart when it divides. Mitotic inhibitors are used in cancer treatment, because cancer cells are able to grow and eventually spread through the body (metastasize) through continuous mitotic division.
Alliteration is a term that describes a literary stylistic device. Alliteration occurs when a series of words in a row (or close to a row) have the same first consonant sound. For example, âShe sells sea-shells down by the sea-shoreâ or âPeter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppersâ are both alliterative phrases.
These help the writer tell a story or make a point. Alliteration is a literary term that means two or more words in a row that all start with the same sounds. For example: Three grey geese in a green field grazing, Grey were the geese and green was the grazing. - Three Grey Geese by Mother Goose.
