The polar movement of chromosomes during anaphase A is associated with microtubule shortening. In particular, microtubules depolymerize at the ends at which they are attached to the kinetochores. Sketch a model that explains how a microtubule can shorten and generate force yet remain firmly attached to the chromosome.
Which of the following statements best explain prometaphase? Microtubules lengthen to align chromosomes in the middle. Microtubules shorten to pull sister chromatids apart. Microtubules attach to the kinetochore at the centromere. Microtubules disassemble.
