Which of the following molecular motors is known to travel in a retrograde direction along microtubules?
A)kinesins
B)dyneins
C)myosins
D)kinesins and myosins
E)kinesins and dyneins

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dyneins are the molecular motors that travel in a retrograde direction along microtubules, moving towards the minus end of the microtubule. Kinesins, on the other hand, move in an anterograde direction towards the plus end of microtubules, while myosins move along actin filaments. Therefore, option E is incorrect as both kinesins and dyneins move in opposite directions.
