Question

Select the incorrect statement from the following.

• A. Cytoskeleton are filamentous proteinaceous structure
• B. Cytoskeleton provides mechanical support to the cell
• C. Cytoskeleton helps in motility and maintenance of shape of cell
• D. Cytoskeleton also occurs in prokaryotic cell.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Cytoskeleton are small proteinaceous filament-like structure that is randomly scattered in the cytoplasm. It includes microtubules and microfilaments, which provides mechanical support to the cell and helps in motility. Cytoskeleton are completely absent in a prokaryotic cell.
