Q30 / 180 · NEET 2014 · Botany
The solid linear cytoskeletal elements having a diameter of nm and made up of a single type of monomer are known as:
- AMicrotubules
- Correct answerBMicrofilaments
- CIntermediate filaments
- DLamins
Solution
Microfilaments or actin filaments are long cytoskeletal filaments present in the cytoplasm of the eukaryotic cells. These filaments are primarily composed of polymers of actin and are nm in length. The globular monomeric actin polymerizes to form the filamentous F-actin.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
