Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Microfilaments refer to the solid rods formed of a protein called actin. Microfilaments are also considered as actin filaments. It is found in all the cells of eukaryotes, the microfilaments are mainly structural in function and are an essential constituent of the cytoskeleton, along with intermediate filaments and microtubules.  

Microfilaments vary from 5 to 9 nm in diameter and are developed to withstand huge amounts of tension. With myosin, microfilaments assist in generating the forces used in basic cell motions and cellular contraction. The microfilaments also allow a differentiating cell to separate into two cells and also take part in amoeboid movements of some kind of cells.

polet [3.4K]
During telophase in mitosis or meiosis II, where chromosomes which were previously distinct and condensed, de-condense and spread out into a tangle of chromatin. At the same time, the nuclear envelope re-forms around each cluster of chromosomes in each of the daughter cells, and spindle fibres disintegrate.

Chromosomes are unlikely to de-condense and spread out into a tangle of chromatin during telophase I (i.e. Telophase of Meiosis I), since Meiosis is still ongoing, and the genetic material should be in its condensed form during Meiosis II as well. 

Hope this helps! :)
