Microtubule

you are actually correct that there would be a problem with having two centromeres though: in metaphase a microtubule from one pole could attach to one centromere and a microtubule from the other pole would attach to the other centromere, so during anaphase in this scenario ...

... important for the point I was trying to make above: it basically tells us that we still have a whole bunch to learn about the cytoskeleton and how microtubule position is regulated, about vesicle targeting with clathrin coat proteins and about the transport pathways within the endomembrane system.

... of the VERY big difference in structure between olfactory cilia and "traditional" cilia. We are used to referring to cilia as that 9+2 microtubule structure, dinein and the works. However, the term cilium doesn't necessary mean that: almost all mammalian cells have a specialized structure ...

There are other microtubule depolymerizing drugs similar to colchicine, like nocodazole and colcemid , that bind free tubulin in a cell and prevent them from adding onto microtubules. I also know of a drug called Brefeldin that interferes ...
