Presently, there is no consensus on what it is. The author has proposed a minimal assumptions model for the dynamics of post-attachment chromosome motions based on nanoscale electrostatics. Given the electrical properties of tubulin and the dynamic instability of microtubules, it is possible to account for prometaphase post-attachment, metaphase, and anaphase chromosome motions within a comprehensive model. The model addresses all of the following in a unified manner: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eEfficiency of aster and spindle assembly and the motive force for the motion of asters and forming half-spindles. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromatid pair attachment. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotion of monovalently attached chromatid pairs. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotion of bivalently attached chromatid pairs and chromosome congression. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetaphase chromatid pair oscillations. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromatid separation and anaphase-A chromosome motion. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnaphase-B pole separation. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn ab-initio calculation of the maximum tension force exerted by a microtubule during mitosis that falls within the experimental range. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoleward force generation of chromosomes at poles with associated microtubule flux.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e L.
