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 expect to be the most likely consequence? A) the loss of all nuclear function B) the inability of the nucleus to divide during cell division C) a change in the shape of the nucleus D) failure of chromosomes to carry genetic information E) inability of the nucleus to keep out destructive chemicals

Trevor Herring · Answer 1

C) a change in the shape of the nucleus

Explanation:

Nuclear lamina is made up of intermediate filaments and proteins, it is present under the inner nuclear membrane.

It's thickness is approximately 30 to 100 nm thick,

It functions are to maintain nuclear stability, bind nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), organize chromatin and many others.

If we cause the lamina to fall into disarray a change in the shape of the nucleus occurs.
