- Part of cell division is that chromosomes are moved the center of the cell and then back to the poles of each newly made daughter cell. These chromosomes are moved to the center of the cell by.. Select one: a. Myosin walking on microtubules towards the center of the cell (slow growing end of microtubule) b. Oar-like motion of myosin with microfilaments causing each half of the cell to move closer together c. kinesins walking on microtubules towards the center of the cell (fast growing end of microtubule) d. vesicles floating on microfilaments of the cortical cytoskeletonarrow_forwardMatch the following terms with the correct description Telophase A. The cytoplasm of a single cell divides to form two daughter cells. Metaphase B. Condensed and highly colled chromosomes move to a central zone. Prophase C. During this phase, chromatin condenses into two Identical coples of each chromosome. V Anaphase D. Chromosomes begin to pull toward opposite ends. Cytokinesis E. The nuclear envelopes will form around each nucleus and the nucleol will reappear.arrow_forwardWith regard to the process of mitosis, which of the following pairs is NOT matched correctly? a. Interphase - the cell grows, chromosomes replicate, and proteins are produced to prepare the cell to divide Ob. Prophase - chromosomes condense, and the nuclear membrane dissociates/breaks down c. Metaphase - chromosomes move toward opposite poles (or sides) of the cell d. Anaphase - sister chromatids separate e. Telophase - two distinct nuclei are formed; this is the stage immediately before cytokinesis O O Oarrow_forward
