Microtubules are not involved in
A) movement of chromosomes during mitosis.
B) transport of membranous vesicles in the cytoplasm.
C) cytokinesis of animal cells.
D) movement of cilia and flagella.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microtubules are involved in all of the other processes listed. They form the spindle fibers that move chromosomes during mitosis, serve as tracks for vesicle transport, and form the axoneme of cilia and flagella for movement. However, cytokinesis in animal cells is primarily accomplished by the contraction of actin and myosin filaments in the cell cortex, rather than the involvement of microtubules.
