Animal cells have centrosomes.
The function of the centrosome is to organize all the functions in a cell of an animal. They are commonly associated with nuclear membrane of the cell.
The centrosome in animal cells typically contains a pair of centrioles, while plant cells do not have centrioles in their centrosomes. Additionally, plant cells have structures called microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) that serve similar functions to centrosomes in animal cells.
Spindle Fibers are formed between centrosomes. Centrosomes migrate to opposite ends of the cell during cell division. The spindle fibers function is to anchor the centrosomes and chromosomes into the poles. The chromosomes then reel them selves in using the spindle fiber.

yes.
Centrosomes duplicate during the S phase of the cell cycle, specifically in the late G1 phase.
Centrosomes produce Microtubules. This is the reason why they are also called "Microtubule Organizing Center". They help in regulation of cell cycle.
