What material is around centrioles?
Centrioles are typically surrounded by pericentriolar material, which includes proteins and microtubules that are important for cell division and organization of the microtubule network. This material helps anchor and regulate the function of the centrioles within the cell.
What do animal cells have to help with chromosome movement?
Animal cells have structures called centrioles that help in chromosome movement during cell division. These centrioles form the spindle fibers that attach to the chromosomes and help to segregate them into the daughter cells. Additionally, motor proteins like dynein and kinesin also play a role in chromosome movement within the cell.
How do the centrioles in the centrosome help the cell?
Cilia works because they are little hairs all around the cell and they move to propel the cell around. They are very important components to the cells because without them they are not able to move :)
What is the space around the centrioles?
The space around centrioles is called the pericentriolar material (PCM). It contains a mix of proteins that are involved in the organization and function of the centrioles, including those that regulate microtubule nucleation and anchoring. The PCM plays a crucial role in centriole duplication, cell division, and cellular organization.
Why centrioles are present in animals but not in plants?
Centrioles are responsible for the formation of the spindle which is made of microtubules. These structures constrict around the outside of the cell causing the cell to cleave in two. Plant cells have a rigid cell wall that could not be cleaved by these organelles. The cell wall grows in between the two new daughter cells, separating them from each other. This is why plant cells do not need centrioles, as they would not help the cell to divide anyway.
Do centrioles organize the mitotic spindle in cell division?
No they do not, centrioles are the only organelles in a cell which are not synthesised during the G1 phase. During the telophase of cell division the two pairs of centrioles in each of their own centrosomes break down. Whilst a new nuclear memebrane is forming around the chromosomes a new par of centrioles is synthesised. Therefore centrioles are made during the telophase of the mitotic phase. Centrioles then divide into two pairs during the Synthesis phase. Each pair of centrioles then move to opposite poles of the nucleus during prophase.
What cell component is composed of microtubles and helps move chromosomes around during cell division?
In animal cells these are the centrioles. You may also be referring to the mitotic spindle which is present in both animal and plant cells during mitosis.
What is a cell structure consisting microtubules which forms during early mitosis and plays a role in cell division?
The structure you are referring to is the mitotic spindle. It is made up of microtubules that help separate the chromosomes during cell division to ensure each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.

What are asters and where are they in a cell?
Asters are star-shaped structures made of microtubules found in animal cells. They are located around the centrosomes during cell division, specifically in the region close to the poles of the cell. Asters play a crucial role in organizing and positioning the mitotic spindle during cell division.

What are the fibers that form around centrioles of an animal cells during the reproduction of the nucles?
Spindle fibers form from centrioles of animal cells during chromosomal separation in mitosis. These fibers elongate to reach the kinetochores of chromosomes, and then retract via depolymerization from each end of the dividing cell leading into cytokinesis.

The space around centrioles is called the pericentriolar material (PCM). It contains a mix of proteins that are involved in the organization and function of the centrioles, including those that regulate microtubule nucleation and anchoring. The PCM plays a crucial role in centriole duplication, cell division, and cellular organization.
What events occur in a cell going through telophase?
A nuclear membrane forms around the two daughter nuclei, the chromosomes go back to chromatin, the nucleous reforms, the mitotic spindle disappears, and the cytoplasm divides.
What are the changes during the prophase?
If you are referring to prophase of mitosis, the cell's chromatin is condensing into organized chromosomes, visible under the light microscope. Spindle fibers are attaching to the centromeres and the centrioles are moving to the poles of the cell. The two phases of prophase during meiosis are different though.
