Which cytoskeletal elements help maintain cell shape and guide cell plate formation during plant cell division?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Microtubule filaments
Microtubules are cytoskeletal elements involved in cell shape, intracellular organization, and chromosome movement. In plant cytokinesis, they help organize the phragmoplast that guides cell plate formation.
