A.a structure composed of several proteins that associate with the centromere region of a chromosome and that can bind to spindle microtubules B.the centromere region of a metaphase chromosome at which the DNA can bind with spindle proteins C.the array of vesicles that will form between two dividing nuclei and give rise to the metaphase plate D.the ring of actin microfilaments that will cause the appearance of the cleavage furrow E.the core of proteins that forms the cell plate in a dividing plant cell

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. If you were to examine a sample of connective tissue cells from a small but adult mammal and a second sample from a fetus of the same species, in which would you expect to find more cells undergoing mitosis? Why?

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. A.Chromosomes are separated by microfilaments. B.Chromosomes are not separated. C.Microtubules shorten at the centrosome end. D.Microtubules shorten at the chromosome end. A new cell is found and separation of its chromosomes is examined. How would you interpret this result?
