Question
  1. Microtubules in a cell exhibit dyanimc instability at which end?

       

    positive end

       

    negative end

       

    both positive and negative ends

       

    neither the positive nor the negative ends

     

     

    2.

    The effect of MAP2 on microtubules is similar to the effect of CapZ on microfilaments how?

       

    both stabilize the positive end of the filament

       

    both bundle the filaments in parallel bundles

       

    both increase the instability of the negative end of the filament

       

    both nucleate the formation of the filaments

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    3.

    Select all of the statements below that are true of tubulin and microtubules

       

    negative ends of microtubules end with alpha-tubulin sticking out

       

    monomers in which GTP is bound to beta-tubulin encourage the growth of the filament

       

    hydrolysis of GTP by the beta subunit stabilizes the filament

       

    all of the tubulin subunits in a microtubule are bound to GDP
