Microtubules are cyclindrical shaped polymers that help maintain and stabilize cell structure. They also have a major role in the transportation of molecules within the cell. They are part of the cytoskeleton, and the cytoskeleton is considered to be an organelle. The microtubules are only a fraction of an organelle under the cytoskeleton.

Which organelle sends out microtubules that connect to DNA during metaphase?

The centrioles are organelles in the cell that sends out microtubules that connect to the DBA during the metaphase. These centrioles determine the position of the nucleus and plays a crucial role in the spatial arrangement of the cell.

Which organelle sends out microtubles that connect to DNA during metaphase?

The organelle responsible for sending out microtubules that connect to DNA during metaphase is the centrosome. The centrosome organizes the microtubules into a structure known as the mitotic spindle, which attaches to the chromosomes at their kinetochores. This connection is crucial for the proper alignment and separation of chromosomes during cell division.
