Cell division tutorial Q7aiii and Q7b

Q7aiii) How non-kinetochore microtubules help in mitosis (their function had been asked in the A levels bef0re):


The non-kinetochore microtubules from opposite poles slide past and push apart from each other, causing the distance between the poles to increase and hence, elongating the cell.
