-Tubulin is a dimer, made up of 2 slightly different polypeptides, alpha and beta. Given the structure above, what is the most likely consequence to the structure of the microtubule?

• A)One "half-pipe" side of the tubule must be heavier in alpha and the other in beta subunits.
• B)One end of a microtubule can grow or release dimers at a faster rate than the other.
• C)Microtubules grow by adding a complete circular layer at a time rather than spiraling.
• D)Microtubules in cilia must never grow or become shorter.
• E)Tubulin molecules themselves must be rigid structures.
