The mitotic apparatus is designed to:
Correct answer: D. All of the above
- A. Attach chromosomes
- B. Separate chromosomes
- C. Align chromosomes
- D. All of the above
Explanation
Specialized microtubules structures including aster and spindle which form by centrioles in animals cells are called the mitotic apparatus. Mitotic apparatus is a temporary structure in a dividing cell that enables the chromosomes to move to the poles of the cell thus ensuring their even distribution between the daughter cells.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
