4. Which of the following statements is true when thinking about chromosome movement? Microtubules attach to the kinetochores during early prophase. The microfilaments pull the chromosomes back and forth until they align in a plane along the equator of the cell, which is called the longitudinal plane. Astral microtubules attach to the chromosomes and move the chromatids. The kinetochore is composed of proteins that assemble on the centromere to provide a site for the microfilaments to attach. One mechanism for movement is the use of motor proteins, kinesin and dynein by kinetochores.

Which of the following statement is/are true? Astral microtubules shorten during anaphase. Kinetochore microtubules depolymerize during anaphase. Spindle MTs bind the kinetochores associated with each chromatid Polar microtubules lengthen during anaphase Polar microtubules interact with microtubules from the opposite pole of the cell

Which of the following statements about microtubules is not true? and explain why each statement is true or not. -Microtubules Display Dynamic Instability -Microtubule Dynamics Can Be Modified by Drugs -Motor Proteins Drive Intracellular Transport -The Centrosome Is the Major Microtubule-organizing Center in Animal Cells -Dynamic Instability Is Driven by ATP Hydrolysis -Microtubules Are Hollow Tubes with Structurally Distinct Ends

Which of these is paired incorrectly? a. prometaphase - the kinetochores become attached to spindle fibers b. anaphase- daughter chromosomes migrate toward spindle poles c. prophase - the nucleolus disappears and the nuclear envelope disintegrates d. metaphase - the chromosomes are aligned in the metaphase plate e. telophase - a resting phase between cell division cycles
