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,…

Centrosomes Structure and Function
Centrosomes are vital organelles in eukaryotic cells that play an essential role in the organization of the cell’s microtubule cytoskeleton and the proper distribution of genetic material during cell division. Composed of two cylindrical centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material, these organelles act as nucleation sites for the formation of microtubules, which are crucial for cell…
