QUESTION 3
-
Which of the following statements regarding microtubules is FALSE?
A Microtubules are polar.
B Microtubules are inherently unstable and rapidly disassemble with low GTP concentrations.
C Microtubule-binding proteins, such as Tau, always bind to microtubules to destabilize them.
D Microtubules are composed of 13 protofilaments that are arranged into a hollow cylinder.
E Microtubules are typically arranged in cells such that their plus (+) ends are directed towards the plasma membrane and their minus (-) ends are attached to the centrosomes.

- Short Question:-2 Course Code: BIO121 Course Name: Principles of Biology I (a) Plasma membrane is said to be selectively permeable. Explain what is meant by that. (b) Describe the differences between a plant cell and animal cell. (c) List the three animal cell junctions and give their functionsarrow_forwardQUESTION 48 With regard to the process of mitosis, which of the following pairs is NOT matched correctly? Oa. Interphase - the cell grows, chromosomes replicate, and proteins are produced to prepare the cell to divide b. 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 cytokinesisarrow_forwardPhosphorylation of nuclear lamins regulates their assembly and disassembly during mitosis. You add a drug to cells that are undergoing mitosis that inhibits the activity of an enzyme that dephosphorylates nuclear lamins. What do you predict will happen to these cells? Why?arrow_forward
