what is the role of microfilaments?

Microfilaments assist with cell movement and are made of a protein called actin. Actin works with another protein called myosin to produce muscle movements, cell division, and cytoplasmic streaming. Microfilaments keep organelles in place within the cell.


What is the role of microfilaments incell division?

Microfilaments and microtubules that make up the cytoskeleton in the cell move/push the chromosomes and organelles into place for the various phases of cell division. (in metaphase, for example, they are moved to the metaphase plate (the center of the cell)) The organelles don't just randomly think "I think I'll move now." So I guess that would be the main role of microfilaments in cell division. :-)

What roles of microfilaments in cell division?

During cytokinesis the microfilaments form a contractile ring around the plasma membrane. The ring of filaments is equidistant from the two spindle poles, and it contracts eventually pinching the cell in two.
