a: kinetochore ~
b: man climbing a rope
What:
"The kinetochore does have motor proteins... think of the mitotic spindle as an anchor with a rope (the rope being the microtubules). The kinetochore is like a man climbing up the rope - he's actually putting force on the rope to move himself along. (the kinetochore also breaks down the microtubule as it goes along). "
