Question

During cell division, the cytoskeleton plays a vital role in:

NISHANTH · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: C
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
 **Primary Concept**: Cytoskeleton's role in cell division
 **Related Topics**: Mitosis, meiosis, chromosome segregation
 **Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of the cell cycle and chromosome movement
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
  The question focuses on the cytoskeleton's role during cell division.
**Method & Steps**:
 1. Recall the events of cell division.
  Reasoning: During cell division, chromosomes must be accurately segregated to daughter cells.  The cytoskeleton plays a critical role in this process.
 2. Analyze the options.
  Working: DNA replication precedes cell division, RNA transcription is not directly involved in chromosome segregation, and protein folding is a continuous cellular process. Chromosome segregation is the primary function of the cytoskeleton during cell division.
 3. Identify the correct option.
  Result: C
  Verification: Microtubules of the mitotic spindle are crucial for chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
A :x: DNA replication occurs before cell division begins.
B :x: RNA transcription is not directly involved in chromosome movement.
C ✓: Chromosome segregation is the key function of the cytoskeleton during cell division.
D :x: Protein folding is a general cellular process, not specifically tied to chromosome segregation during cell division.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
 **Common Mistakes**: Confusing the timing and roles of different processes during the cell cycle.
 **Quick Tips**: Remember the mitotic spindle's role in separating chromosomes.
