More Information
Microtubules are essential components of the mitotic spindle that ensure chromosomes are correctly segregated during cell division. They dynamically attach to chromosomes at their kinetochores to ensure proper alignment and movement.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse the role of microtubules with other components of the cell, such as actin filaments or the cell membrane, which do not have a role in chromosome segregation during mitosis.
