Answer: retain its shape; divide

Explanation: In a wide range of cell type, networks of actin filaments aid in supporting and strengthening the plasma membrane this allowing the cells to hold — and move — specialized shapes. They also play active roles in cytokinesis and cell movement.

Cytochalasin targets actin filaments in the cytoskeleton, preventing them from forming thus inhibiting a wide variety of cellular movements (cytokinesis, cell locomotion, cytoplasmic streaming, blood clot retraction etc.). As a consequence,

cytochalasins can disrupt cellular morphology, cell division, and even cause cell death.

Answer:

It will result in its inability divide (cell division).

Explanation:

Cytochalasin are fungi metaboltes. They bind to actin filaments and block polymerization and elongation of actin. This in turn inhibits cellular processes such cell division, causes changes in cell morphology and

What was the historical significance of pasteurization?
Greeley [361]
When Pasteurization was first invented many people could and would become ill to certain products due to tainting with certain bacteria and fungi. Additionally these various bacteria would cause the taste of these products to sour. 

 Originally Pasteur would come up with the method of heating up a certain food or substance, to kill these pathogens, when working to improve the longevity and taste of Wine. His method however is now used around the world for use in purifying Milk and Dairy, Wine, fruit juices, etc... and reducing the risk of food poisoning, while also improving the economics of these products.

Genital HSV-1 outbreaks recur ________ regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks
never [62]
Genital HSV-1 outbreaks reoccur less regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks. There is no cure for genital herpes. Using condoms properly can reduce the risk of cross infection but it is not 100% safe. Genital herpes can still be transferred between partners even with the use of condoms. Once you have herpes, you are at risk of it reoccurring, Research has shown that 80% of people who contract HSV-2 will have at least one occurrence. Generally HSV-2 tends to reoccur four to six times per year. In contrast, only 50% of people who contract HSV-1 will have at least one reoccurrence. The HSV-1 infection only tends to reoccur once a year.
