Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Microtubules allows materials to move through the cell and helps in mitosis.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Microtubules help to move cells, organize genetic material during cell division, provide structure for cells, and help with intracellular transport. Microtubules are the structural components of motility organelles, such as flagella and cilia.

Detailed explanation-2: -How Do Cells Move? Cytoskeletal filaments provide the basis for cell movement. For instance, cilia and (eukaryotic) flagella move as a result of microtubules sliding along each other. In fact, cross sections of these tail-like cellular extensions show organized arrays of microtubules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Powering chromosome movement (microtubules) The most prominent structure in a mitotic cell is the bipolar spindle (made up of microtubules and associated motor proteins), which provides the force to move chromosomes and thereby bring about their segregation.
