The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the involvement of cytoskeletal elements in various biological processes, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Amoeboid Movement**: - Amoeboid movement is primarily facilitated by the cytoskeletal element known as **microfilaments** (actin filaments). These filaments allow the cell to change shape and move by extending and contracting. - **Conclusion**: Cytoskeletal elements are involved in amoeboid movement. 2. **Separation of Chromosomes**: - During cell division, the separation of chromosomes is carried out by **microtubules**. These structures form the spindle fibers that pull the chromosomes apart during mitosis and meiosis. - **Conclusion**: Cytoskeletal elements are involved in the separation of chromosomes. 3. **Ciliary Movement**: - Cilia and flagella are composed of **microtubules** arranged in a specific pattern (9+2 arrangement). The movement of these structures is powered by the sliding of microtubules against each other. - **Conclusion**: Cytoskeletal elements are involved in ciliary movement. 4. **Formation of Cell Plate**: - During plant cell division, the formation of the cell plate is also mediated by **microtubules**. They help in the transport of vesicles that contain cell wall materials to the center of the dividing cell, forming the cell plate. - **Conclusion**: Cytoskeletal elements are involved in the formation of the cell plate. ### Final Conclusion: Since all four options (i, ii, iii, and iv) involve cytoskeletal elements, the correct answer is that cytoskeletal elements are involved in all of the listed processes.
