Both anaphase and cytokinesis depend on filaments for movement. Compare and contrast the role of filaments, and the mechanism for movement in the movement of chromatids in anaphase, The Role of Filaments in Anaphase and Cytokinesis

The Function of Filaments in Anaphase and Cytokinesis

Anaphase and cytokinesis are two important phases of mitosis, throughout which the chromosomes and cytoplasm divide, respectively. Each processes depend on the motion of filaments to make sure that the cell divides precisely. Anaphase is the stage of mitosis when the sister chromatids separate and transfer to reverse poles of the cell. Throughout this part, two filaments, microtubules and actin filaments, play a job. Microtubules connect to the centromeres and pull the chromatids to reverse poles of the cell (Chi et al., 2018). Actin filaments additionally contribute to the motion of the chromatids by creating stress on the cell membrane, which permits the chromatids to maneuver freely (Li et al., 2021). Cytokinesis, then again, requires the motion of the cell membrane to separate the cytoplasm, and thus the cell, into two. This motion is pushed by the formation of a contractile ring, which consists of actin filaments and myosin. The actin filaments are organized in a helical sample and kind the scaffold for the contractile ring, whereas myosin drives the contraction of the ring, which causes the cell membrane to separate (Yamada et al., 2016).
