Hi friends,

Chromosome:  It is the chromatin material during mitosis and meiosis which coils and uncoils itself and carry's all the genetic material and information along it.

Centrosome: It is an organelle that is present in the cell and is responsible for the division of the daughter cells in the process of mitosis and meiosis.

Both of these are very important for the asexual reproduction to occur successfully.

Thanks for asking.

Answer:

CENTROSOME

It is composed of two orthogonally arranged centrioles surrounded by an amorphous mass of protein termed the pericentriolar material (PCM).

The PCM contains proteins responsible for microtubule nucleation and anchoring including γ-tubulin, pericentrin and ninein.

In general, each centriole of the centrosome is based on a nine triplet microtubule assembled in a cartwheel structure, and contains centrin, cenexin and tektin.

Each mitotic cell has two centrosomes and four centrioles (two per centrosome).

CHROMOSOME

It is an organized structure of DNA and histon protein that is found in cells.

It is a single piece of coiled DNA containing many genes, regulatory elements and other nucleotide sequences.

It also contains DNA-bound proteins, which serve to package the DNA and control its functions.

Chromosomes vary widely between different organisms
