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 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 is the contractile ring in mitosis made up of?
Microfilaments form the ring in cytokinesis of animal cell division.
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 are microtubules and microfilaments and what are their functions?
Expert please, great Qn. Function: microfilaments - cell movement microtubules - involved in cell division Definition: Microtubules - hollow rod constructed of many molecules of the protein tubulin. Part of the cytoskeletion. microfilament - rod of actin protein in the cytoplasm that provides structural support or movement. Part of the cytoskeleton.
Do microfilaments form cleavage furrows?
Microfilaments form cleavage furrows, which are indentations of a cell's surface. These furrows aid in the final separation of a cell into two identical daughter cells.
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 is the function of the microfilament?
Microfilaments are thin, solid protein fibers that provide structural support for eukaryotic cells.
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 are the tiny strands called that are in a cell?

Why is microfilaments important?
it helps in cell movement
Threadlike fibers found in the cell membrane?
The microfilaments and microtubules are threadlike fibers found in the cell membrane. They are involved in cellular movement and providing structural support to the cell.
What are the fundamental roles of the?
Two fundamental roles of DNA are:To direct protein synthesisReplicate itself before cell division
What are microfilaments and what is their job?
thier job in the cell is to matian the structure of the cell
