Question

What is centriole? What are its functions?

Answer 1

each of a pair of minute cylindrical organelles near the nucleus in animal cells, involved in the development of spindle fibres in cell division.

The main function of the centriole is to help with cell division in animal cells. The centrioles help in the formation of the spindle fibers that separate the chromosomes during cell division (mitosis).

hope this helped you

Centrioles :

Centrioles are small rod shaped structures that are not membrane bound. They are found only in animal cells. They are located just next to the nucleus in animal cell. The hollow space where the two centrioles are found are called centrosome .

Functions of Centrioles :

• Centrioles help in the formation of spindle fibres during cell division.

• They help in the movement of chromatids during cell division.

• The centrosome also initiates cell division.
