Solution

Mitotic spindle:

  1. It is a structure that forms during cell division and separates duplicated chromosomes.
  2. The function of the mitotic spindle depends on microtubule-dependent motor proteins.
  3. Microtubules are highly dynamic polymers continuously shrinking and growing, and in the spindle, this conduct is governed by many different proteins binding to the ends or sides of microtubules.
