Spindle fibres of mitotic cell are made up of

  • tubulin

  • actin

  • myosin

  • collagen


A.

tubulin

Spindle fibres are formed during cell division. These are made up of tubulin. Each tubulin molecule is made up of a. and B sub-units. Tubulin molecules are attached heat to tail and form a strand and 13 strands aggregate to form a microtubule. These microtubules are attached to kinetochores of. metaphase chromosomes and play an important role in the movement of chromosomes during subsequent stages of cell division.
