What evidence suggests that during anaphase, kinetochore microtubules shorten at the kinetochore?

Question

Accepted Answer

Hi everyone here's our next question. During which phase to the Connecticut micro tubules shorten. Let's recall what the kinetic micro tubules are. The kinetic or we recall from our content videos is a protein structure that forms in the region of the central mir of the chromosomes. That part that holds the sister chroma chroma kids together. And the micro tubules attach the kinetic or to the spindle that then pulls the sister competence to the opposite poles of the cell that is about to divide. And these micro tubules shorten to pull those sister chromosomes apart. So we want to recall which phase that occurs in. Well, I'm just putting up a quick little summary of what's happening in each phase. This is a good thing to have memorized um common test questions for what's going on in each phase. And it's always good to have kind of a quick summary of each phase that you can refer to you in your head when you're answering questions about this. So we've got pro phase first. Much pro is easy to members first. The chromosomes condense, the nucleus breaks down in the spindle forms. Then we've got meta phase when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. And I remember meta phase going with them meta middle and then we've got anna phase. The chromosomes move apart to the poles of the cell and I think anna phase beginning with a I think away the chromosomes move away from each other in an a phase and then finally tell a phase the cell begins to divide. Sometimes I would think like they're going to divide and they're gonna have to call each other on the telephone because they're apart from each other. So just silly little memory aids. There were looking for the when we talk about the kinetic core micro trivial shorten. That's when the chromosomes are being pulled apart from each other. So we're talking about anna bays. So that is choice C. Of our answers. So during which phase of the kinetic or micro trivial shorten, choice C. Ana phase. See you in the next video.
