Question

What’s special about centrioles that distinguish them from other microtubule-based structures?

Answer 1

Centrioles have another distinct function as basal bodies that template the growth of axonemes, the microtubule-based skeleton of cilia and flagella (Dirksen, 1991). These are evolutionarily conserved eukaryotic organelles that extend from, and are continuous with, the cell membrane.
