Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the terms (A-D) are correct and can be used interchangeably to refer to the structures where nucleation of microtubules occurs inside a cell. These structures serve as major organizing centers for the assembly and dynamic behavior of microtubules, which are critical for many cellular processes such as cell division, intracellular transport, and cell morphology.

Nucleation of Microtubules Takes Place Rapidly Inside a Cell, Where
