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.
What is the contractile ring in mitosis made up of?
Microfilaments form the ring in cytokinesis of animal cell division.
Microfilaments are well known for their role in what?
Microfilaments are well known for several things. They are known for amoeboid movement, formation of cleavage furrows, and the contracting of muscle cells.
What Microfilaments are made from ball shaped proteins called?
Microfilaments are made from a ball-shaped protein called?. Microfilaments are made from a ball shaped. Microfilaments are made of protein strands called
What is the contractile elements of the cytoskeleton?
Microfilaments Microfilaments support the microvilli, they are involved in muscle contraction and other cell motility, endocytosis, and cell division... Anatomy & Physiology/fourth edition
What is the role of microfilaments is cell division?
They Split The Cel During Cytokinesis
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 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.
What is the role of the protein actin?
Actin is found in muscle tissue ( along with myosin) and makes up microfilaments which are responsible for cellular movement and also function in cell division.
What is the function of the microfilament?
Microfilaments are thin, solid protein fibers that provide structural support for eukaryotic cells.
The cytoskeleton helps give a cell shape What structures plays this role?
Microfilaments and microtubules
What are microfilaments responsible for?
Microfilaments assist with cell movement and also works with another protein called myosin to produce muscle movements, cell division, and cytoplasmic streaming. They also help to hold organelles in place.
What plays a role in cell division?
Nuclear division plays a role in cell division.
What is the contractile ring in mitosis made up of?
Microfilaments form the ring in cytokinesis of animal cell division.
What are the tiny strands called that are in a cell?
Microfilaments
Long threads made of actin?
Microfilaments.
Microfilaments are well known for their role in what?
Microfilaments are well known for several things. They are known for amoeboid movement, formation of cleavage furrows, and the contracting of muscle cells.
