Question

What role do microtubules play during mitosis? A) Microtubules line up chromosomes at the equator of the cell during metaphase. B) Microtubules play a role in the disassembly and reassembly of the nuclear membrane. C) Microtubules play a role in the formation of the cell plate when plant cells undergo cell division. D) Microtubules play a role in the migration of chromosomes to opposite ends of a dividing cell during anaphase.

Answer 1

Microtubules in Mitosis. Microtubules play a role in the migration of chromosomes to opposite ends of a mitosing cell during the anaphase.

Answer 2

D. Microtubules play a role in the migration of chromosomes to opposite ends of a dividing cell during anaphase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Microtubules are organelles found in eukaryotic cells and in some bacteria cells. They are tiny, hollow and tubular in structure that perform a variety of functions in the cell including maintenance of cell's shape and participation in motor functions of the cell.

Microtubules' functions also include formation of mitotic spindles as well as the movement of chromosomes during cell division.

Hence, the correct option is D.
