Following the attachment of spindle microtubules to kinetochores,chromosomes are moved around by _____.
A)myosin motor proteins
B)actin filaments
C)elongation and shortening of microtubules
D)motor activity taking place in the centrosomes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chromosomes are moved around by the elongation and shortening of microtubules during mitosis. The microtubules are part of the spindle apparatus, which is responsible for separating chromosomes during cell division. Myosin motor proteins and actin filaments are not involved in the movement of chromosomes during mitosis, and there is no motor activity taking place in the centrosomes that moves the chromosomes.
