Microtubules

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the chromosomes attach to the poles of the cell via microtubules during metaphase, and are pulled by the microtubules to the poles during anaphase? if this is the case then an inhibitor would prevent the occurrence of anaphase because ...

The inhibitor probably breaks the microtubules. So, are microtubules needed for something during metaphase?

1. what happens during metaphase? How is it related to the microtubules? 2. Are you sure there should be "that even at the maximum concentration of inhibitor that you have been given, the Vmax for the inhibited reaction is lower than the un-inhibited ...

b) Hair fibres They contain keratin, a fibrous protein, whereas flagella are made up of microtubules. Although every cell contains microtubules, as they are essential for intercellular trafficking of stuff, the hair that we see, are made up of dead cells, so no microtubules ...
