Answer #1

Cytoskeletal elements are three types.
Microfilaments, intermediate filaments and microtubules.
Microtubules are protofilaments which consists of tubulin subunits.
Protofilaments render strength to cytoskeleton as well as there will be
no random nucleation which gives good stability to cytoskeleton.
