where are centrosomes found? what is the function of the centrosome?
Answers
In cell biology, the centrosome (Latin centrum 'center' + Greek sōma 'body') is an organelle that serves as the main microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of the animal cell, as well as a regulator of cell-cycle progression. The centrosome is thought to have evolved only in the metazoan lineage of eukaryotic cells.

✌Hello✌
centrosomes:
in animal cells two tiny hollow cylindrical bodies,the ventricles, remain surrounded by recognizable clear zone of cytoplasm and form a complex which is known as centrosomes
location:
centrosomes are generally present in animal cell and occasionally in the cells of some lower plants.
structure:
the centrosome consists of two parts___
the centriole and the centrosphere. the centrioles are usually 2 in number which are tiny cylindrical bodies arranged at right angle to each other. the centrosphere is the dense cytoplasm surrounding the centrioles.
function:
1)centrosome plays an important role during animal cell division.
2)it also plays an important part in the formation of cilia and flagella.
