False.

Artries in general have thicker walls than veins. (thicker tunica media)

This is because artries need to withstand high blood pressure when the heart pumps the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body while veins carry blood (deoxygenated) at lower pressures, hence they are thinner compared to artries

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a structure composed of several proteins that associate with the centromere region of a chromosome and that can bind to spindle microtubules

Explanation:

Kinetochores have  vvery important role in the cell division-mitosis.

During the metaphase of mitosis, spindle fibers attach to kinetochores. Some of the microtubules bind to kinetochore (kinetochore microtubules) while other don’t: they connect with the microtubules from the opposite pole, stabilizing the spindle.

During the anaphase, kinetochore microtubules pull chromosomes toward poles, helping the sister chromatids separate from each other.
