The nuclear lamina is an array of filaments on the inner side of the nuclear membrane. If a method were found that could cause the lamina to fall into disarray, what would you most likely expect to be the immediate consequence?

a. the inability of the nucleus to divide during cell division

b. a change in the shape of the nucleus

c. the loss of all nuclear function

d. failure of chromosomes to carry genetic information

B

Explanation:

1. The nuclear lamina is a network inside the nucleus which maintain the shape of nucleus.

2. It is composed of intermediate filaments and many proteins.

3. It providing mechanical support to the nucleus and play many other rolls in the cell.

4. In a cell if the nuclear lamina fall into disarray, the nucleus is misshapen and all these processes run awry. Such cells in which nuclear lamina is broken, they tend to become senescent in response to internal dysfunction, and cause damage to surrounding tissue.
