    Centrioles : Structure and Function

    Centrioles, cylindrical organelles found in the centrosome, play pivotal roles in cell division and cytoskeletal organization. Composed of triplet microtubules, they serve as the primary microtubule organizing center during mitosis, ensuring accurate chromosome segregation. Additionally, centrioles function as basal bodies, enabling the formation of cilia and flagella. Their influence extends to cell shape, intracellular transport,…
