What is the role of microfilaments in cell division

Biology
2 answers:
lesya [120]3 years ago

Answer:

Micro-filaments are long thread-like strands which are made up of repeating units of the protein actin.  

They with other network filaments like microtubule and intermediate filaments form the cytoskeleton of cell and also participate in the process of cell division at different levels like cytokinesis and mitosis.

1. During M-phase- at metaphase, they form spindle fibres which attach to the kinetochore of chromosomes and pull apart the chromosomes during anaphase.

2. During cytokinesis- in animal cells, at anaphase, they form actin fibres which forms contractile ring inside of the cell membrane and constrict animal cell from all sides.

Thus, micro-filaments plays an important role during cell division.

The diagram below represents levels of organization in living things. Which term would best represent X?
Nutka1998 [239]

The correct answer is C. Tissue

Explanation:

In the diagram, x is between organ and cell level. This implies this level of organization is smaller than an organ but no as small as one cell. In this context, the most suitable term to add to this level is a tissue because these are structures composed of specialized cells, which shows this level encloses cells. Also, a group of tissues forms an organ; this implies the organ is the level that follows the tissue. Examples of this include muscle tissue composed of muscle cells and that is part of organs including the heart.
