2Some fish and amphibians can control their color by regulating specialized pigmented organelles called melanosomes, that can be dispersed throughout the cell, making the cell darker, or aggregated in the center of the cell to make the cell lighter. You purify the melanosomes from melanophores that have either aggregated or dispersed melanosomes and find that in one state the melanosomes co-purify with kinesin and in the other state melanosomes co-purify with dynein. Propose a mechanism for how aggregation and dispersal of melanosomes occur.
