Question
most animal cells exhibit anchorage dependence, which means that in order to divide,
cells must be attached to a substrate or extracellular matrix of a tissue.
all chromosomes must be attached to spindle microtubules.
cell-surface phospholipids must be attached to those of adjoining cells.
nonkinetochore microtubules from opposite poles must overlap and be attached by motor proteins.
Anchorage dependence means that cells need to be attached to a substrate (like the extracellular matrix in tissues) to divide. The other options are about cell - surface phospholipids (not related to anchorage), chromosome - spindle microtubule attachment (related to mitosis but not anchorage), and nonkinetochore microtubules (also related to mitosis structure, not anchorage).
