What are centrioles and its function?

centrioles are involved in cell division process they are changed in to spindle fibre and asters in cell division in meosis.


How do asters reproduce?

Asters can be reproduced sexually by seeds and asexually by dividing the plant.


How does a animal cell differ from a plant cell during the cell division?

In animal cells,centrioles self replicate,plant cells do not have centrioles Animal cells form asters,plant cells do not Cytokinesis is done by cleavage furrowing in animal cells while plant cells form a cell plate


What happens during mitosis?

The chromosomes condense and turn into 2-strand chromatids; the nuclear membrane disappears; centrosomes turn to asters and a spindle fiber begins to form. Metaphase: The chromosomes align at the center of the cell (equatorial plate) and each chromosome is attached to the spindle fiber Anaphase: The chromatids (1 strand) separate and the centromere divides, where each single strand chromatid ascends to opposite poles of the cell (polar ascension) Telophase: The cellular membrane cleaves and the nuclear membrane appears again and the asters turn into centromeres once again We end up with 2 daughter cells each maintaining the same number of chromosomes that the mother cell has (2n) because mitosis is and equational division which preserves the genetic information.... Hope this helps...


What would happen if the cell did not contain centrioles?

mitosis & meiosis would not proceed normally. the centrioles are responsible for helping form the spindles which pull the chromatids to either side of the dividing cell. so if u didn't have the centrioles (form the asters) then the divided cells would not have an equal numbers of chromosomes at the end. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/centrioles see second def. listed

What is the function of an aster?

Asters are microtubules(components of the cellular cytoskeleton) produced by centrioles. Their function is to hold the two centrioles in place at the two poles of the cell during cell division(mitosis). Spindle fibres produced by the centrioles are also microtubules which help in organising chromosomes at the equatorial plane of the cell during metaphase. Mitosis in which asters are formed is called astral mitosis.


How do asters reproduce?

Asters can be reproduced sexually by seeds and asexually by dividing the plant.


Around what structure or structres do the asters occur?

Asters are star-shaped microtubule arrays found in animal cells. They form around the centrioles during mitosis and help ensure each daughter cell has the appropriate number of chromosomes.
