Kinetochore microtubules

Microtubules that connect the spindle pole to chromosome

2
New cards

Non-kinetochore / interpolar microtubules

Microtubules that undergo dynamic instability and do not connect to chromosomes

3
New cards

Astral microtubules

Microtubules that anchor into the cortex of the cell membrane for mechanical strength

4
New cards

Cell cortex

Thin network of actin filaments anchored to the membrane that acts as a mechanical support system and changes cell shape during division and movement

5
New cards

With only dynamic instability, where would you expect the two centrosomes to be situated in cells?

Both near cell center
