Which of the following is NOT a function of the cytoskeleton?
AStorage of genetic information
BMechanical support to the cell
CMaintenance of cell shape
DCell motility
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Storage of genetic information
Cytoskeleton (microtubules + microfilaments + intermediate filaments) gives shape, support and motility. Storage of genetic information is the function of DNA and the nucleus, not the cytoskeleton.
