Chromosome transmission during cell division and sexual reproduction - Mitosis and cytokinesis

6 important questions on Chromosome transmission during cell division and sexual reproduction - Mitosis and cytokinesis

From what is the spindle apparatus formed?

Microtubule-organizing centers (MOTCs).

What is the mitotic spindle apparatus?

A structure involved in the organization and sorting of chromosomes.

What does the spindle apparatus  contain?

Which three kinds of microtubules play a role in mitosis, and what is their function?

- Astral microtubules, which are important for the positioning of the spindle apparatus;
- Polar microtubules, which play a role in the separation of the two poles;
- Kintochore microtubules, which attach to kinetochores.

What is the cleavage furrow?

A ring in the plasma of a cell that moves inward and thereby divides the cell into two different cells.
