Microtubules are rarely used during cell division.
A
True
B
False
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of microtubules in cell division. Microtubules are essential components of the cytoskeleton and play a critical role in mitosis and meiosis.
Recognize that during cell division, microtubules form structures known as the mitotic spindle, which is crucial for the segregation of chromosomes into daughter cells.
Consider the process of mitosis, where microtubules attach to chromosomes at the kinetochores and help align them at the metaphase plate.
Acknowledge that microtubules are actively involved in pulling the sister chromatids apart during anaphase, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.
Conclude that microtubules are not rarely used but are, in fact, vital for the successful completion of cell division, making the statement 'Microtubules are rarely used during cell division' false.
