What is the role of microfilaments in cell division

Biology

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.

A - the spindle from the kinetochores that attaches to the chrs and pulls them towards the poles is a microfilament.

A competent bacterial strain with genes a, b, and c is transformed by a donor bacterial fragment. Cotransformation frequencies f
mina [271]

Answer:

a) Genes b and c are farthest apart.

Explanation:

Transformation occurs when a competent bacteria cell takes up genetic material from the environment. Usually a donor cell donates its gene fragment  which is then incorporated into the chromosome or plasmid of recipient bacterial cell.

Cotransformation occurs when two genes are taken up together by the recipient. The closer the genes lie to each other, more are the chances of them being taken up together. Contransformation frequency will be higher if two genes are close to each other. Here, cotransformation frequencies between three genes are given. Amongst them, the lowest frequency is 0.0064% which is present between gene b and c. Hence, gene b and c are the farthest apart.

The diploid number of chromosomes in humans (homo sapiens) is 46 and the diploid number of chromosomes in rice (oryza sativa) is
Mrac [35]

For humans, the diploid chromosome number equation is 2n = 46 because humans have two sets of 23 chromosomes The diploid chromosome number varies by organism and ranges from 10 to 50 chromosomes per cell.

<h3>What is Mitosis?</h3>

Mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs in somatic or body cells. In mitosis, and a cell undergoes division to produce two daughter cells each with the same number of chromosome as the parent cells.

Mitosis produces diploid cells and diploid cells are cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Thus,  The diploid chromosome number varies by organism and ranges from 10 to 50 chromosomes per cell.

Why would a drug that damages capsules help treat a viral infection
ss7ja [257]

Drug that demages capsule is used to treat viral infection because Curing a viral infection  antibiotics are useless against viral infections. This is because viruses are so simple that they use their host cells to perform their activities for them. So antiviral drugs work differently to antibiotics, by interfering with the viral enzymes instead.  

Antiviral drugs are currently only effective against a few viral diseases, such as influenza, herpes, hepatitis B and C and HIV – but research is ongoing. A naturally occurring protein, called interferon (which the body produces to help fight viral infections), can now be produced in the laboratory and is used to treat hepatitis C infections.
