Microtubules are the strands that are attached to the chromosomes during
cellular division. They are used to pull the duplicated chromosomes into the
two new cells.
By damaging the Microtubules you end up with one cell with no chromosomes-and
one with a two sets-but sometimes you get partial disruption and end up with
some cells with odd groups of chromosomes.
