Question 5 Which of the following statements about the y-tubulin ring complex is false It nucleates microtubules and facilitates the organization of a polarized microtubule array It is concentrated at the centrosome It caps the minus end of the microtubules Polymerization of microtubules from the y-tubulin ring complex is more difficult than polymerization of microtubules in the cytoplasm.

Step 1
The γ-tubulin ring complex is a protein complex that plays a crucial role in microtubule nucleation and organization. It is typically found at the centrosome, which is the main microtubule organizing center in animal cells. Show more…
