Centrioles are a cell organelle which are located in animal cells. They are made of 9 sets of microtubules, which are in groups of 3. There are two centrioles in each cell, and together with dense matter they create a centrosome. The centrioles are perpendicular to each other. They are important in the organization on the cell. Their most important role in a cell is when the cell divides. The two centrioles split and move in opposite directions from each other outwards from the nucleus. They produce mitotic spindle which is responsible for separating or pulling replicated chromosomes to the two daughter cells.
Plants do not have centrioles.
Centrioles are in animals.They are not in bacteria.
Not all animal cells have centrioles. Centrioles are usually found in animal cells that are actively dividing. Cells that are not dividing may not have centrioles.

Centrioles basically help in cell division.

Centrioles help divide DNA during cell division.
The nickname for the centrioles is centrosome.
Centrioles engage in cell division.They are only in animal cells.

Higher plants and higher fungi both lack centrioles.
