Question

Define centrosome and centrioles.......................

Answer 1

A centrosome is found only in an animal cell. It is a clear area of cytoplasm close to nucleus, (from which spindle fibres develop during cell division both in mitosis and meiosis).

The centrosome contains two centrioles which are short bundles of micro-filaments or arranged at right angles to each other in the microscopic view of cell.
