Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microtubules are responsible for the movement of chromosomes during cell division, as they form spindle fibers that pull the chromosomes apart during mitosis or meiosis. Microfilaments and intermediate filaments are involved in other cellular processes, such as cell movement and maintaining cell shape. Thick filaments are found in muscle cells and are involved in muscle contraction. Therefore, the correct answer is D) microtubules.
