Chapter 10.4: Interphase: Preparation for Mitosis

Question 1

What is the globular protein subunit forming the hollow cylinder of microtubules?

Answer 1

tubulin

Question 2

Define kinetochore

Answer 2

disk-shaped protein structure within the centromere to which the spindle fibers attach during mitosis or meiosis

Question 3

What is the disk-shaped protein structure within the centromere to which the spindle fibers attach during mitosis or meiosis?

Answer 3

kinetochore

Question 4

Define tubulin

Answer 4

globular protein subunit forming the hollow cylinder of microtubules

Question 5

Define centromere

Answer 5

a visible point of constriction on a chromosome that contains repeated DNA sequences that bind specific protein. These proteins make up the kinetochore to which microtubules attach during cell division

Question 6

What is a visible point of constriction on a chromosome that contains repeated DNA sequences that bind specific protein. These proteins make up the kinetochore to which microtubules attach during cell division?

Answer 6

centromere
