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.

Select the correct answer. Which statement correctly explains the polarity of the water molecule? A. The hydrogen end of the mol
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

option B) The oxygen end of the molecule has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end has a partial positive charge.

Justification:

The electronegativity of an element accounts for its relative ability to attract electrons.

Being oxygen more electronegative than hdyrogen (the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 while the electronegativity of the hydrogen is 2.20), the electron density will be displaced toward the oxygen, letting it with a partial negative charge and the hydrogen with a partial positive charge.

Finally, since the charge is not symmetrical distributed around a center of the molecule, the molecule ends being polar.

The correct answers are:

1. Barrier island;

The barrier islands are island formed from the deposition of sediments, relatively close to the coastline. They are often in a linear shape, parallel to the shore, and being attractive tourist places.

2. Steep and rapidly exposed;

The cliffs are rocky structures that appear on the coastline itself. They are very steep, vertical, or even bent over the water bellow them, and they rise sharply above the water.

3. False;

The coastlines are changing constantly. The reason for that are the weathering and erosion processes, the deposition of sediments, as well as the rise or fall of the sea level.
