Question

Both dynein and kinesin-like motor proteins are involved in chromosome movement during mitosis.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Both dynein and kinesin-like motor proteins are involved in chromosome movement during mitosis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both dynein and kinesin-like motor proteins are involved in chromosome movement during mitosis. In the 9+2 axoneme of cilia and flagella, dynein arms walk along microtubules to enable bending.

Dynein also powers microtubule sliding in polar microtubules, pushing apart the poles of the cell. Kinesin, on the other hand, is involved in the transport of cargo molecules in cells, such as neurotransmitter vesicles. Therefore, the statement is true.
