The assembly of microtubules is responsible for the movement of chromosomes during anaphase is called what?
chromatin
What is consist of hollow tubes which provide support for the cell?
Microtubules are rigid hollow rods which help support and shape a cell. They undergo continual assembly and disassembly within the cell.
How does the structure of microtubules allow them to apparently move from one location of a cell to another?
Microtubules are made of a dimer protein called tubulin. They grow in length by adding tubulin dimers, but they can also be disassembled. This process of assembly and disassembly makes the microtubule seem to move from one location of the cell to another.
The hollow tubes of protein that help maintain the shape of the cell is what?
microtubules.... might be right
Does bacteria have microtubules?
Bacteria do not have microtubules in an eukaryotic sense since they do not have tubulin. However, they do have tubulin homologue FtsZ protein that form structures and perform functions similar to microtubules in eukaryotes. Sometimes these structures are referred to as 'bacteria microtubules'.
The assembly of microtubules is responsible for the movement of chromosomes during anaphase is called what?
chromatin
The cancer drug vinblastine interferes with synthesis of microtubules and in mitosis this would interfere with what?
Spindle formation or assembly.
When are centioles used?
Centrioles are used when cells divide. They are found in animal cells and organize the assembly of microtubules during division.
What is consist of hollow tubes which provide support for the cell?
Microtubules are rigid hollow rods which help support and shape a cell. They undergo continual assembly and disassembly within the cell.
In animal cells taxol an anti-cancer drug binds to microtubules and accelerates their assembly stopping mitosis so what in the cell cycle does taxol affect?
Taxol binds to ß-tubulin to promote microtubule assembly and it stabilises the microtubules and messes up the equilibrium between tubulin and microtubule. A cell with stable microtubules proceeds to programmed cell death without dividing. Nathalie Narraidoo University of Nottingham
Why does taxus brevifolius have potential as an anticancer drug?
Because Taxol can induce the assembly of tubulin into microtubules and stabalizes them to the extent that mitosis of cancer cells is disrupted.
Which cytoskeletal element radiates from the cell center?
Microtubules radiate from the cell center.
What produces microtubules during cell division in animals?
kinetochore microtubules are located in the centrosomes and produce the microtubules
What is the stystem of microtubules?
The Cytoskeleton is a system of microtubules, in a cell.
Organelles used to move chromosomes are the?
microtubules
