Could someone explain in detail what is the effect of temperature( Low & High) on the permeability of a memberane ?
Know how to ask. There is nothing more difficult for some people, nor for others, easier.

Vincristine is a drug used in the treatment of cancer. It prevents spindle formation during mitosis. The result of a root tip squash on the roots grown in a solution of vincristine showed an increase in the percentage of cells found in one of the phases compared with roots grown in water. State the precautions that must be taken for the results of the comparison to be reliable
