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.
What functions do centrioles perform an animal cell mitosis?
Centrioles are found in animal cells, and they help to organize the assembly of microtubules during cell division. During the interphase stage of mitosis, a pair of centrioles replicates into two pairs of centrioles.
What is responsible for forming spindle during mitosis?
The centrioles within the cell form the mitotic spindle.
Where is the centriole during motisis?
During mitosis, centrioles move to the opposite sides of the cell.
What cellular structures move to opposite ends of the cell during prophase?
It's the CENTRIOLES and their star-like radiating structures, called asters.This is Stage 1 in Mitosis:Chromatin in the nucleus condenses to form chromosomes. The pairs of centrioles move to the opposite sides of the nucleus. Spindle fibers form a bridge between the ends of the cell. The nuclear envelope breaks down.

Cell structures that function in cell division are?
centrioles
What are the role of centrioles?
Centrioles help divide DNA during cell division.
What is the role of centrioles?
Centrioles help divide DNA during cell division.
Where do centrioles function in the cell?
The centriole is located near the nuclear membrane to form spindle fibres during cell division in animal cells.
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 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.
What functions do centrioles perform an animal cell mitosis?
Centrioles are found in animal cells, and they help to organize the assembly of microtubules during cell division. During the interphase stage of mitosis, a pair of centrioles replicates into two pairs of centrioles.
What is the function for centrioles?
to synthesise aster that will become spinder fibre
Why might plant cells not need centrioles for mitosis or meiosis?
The centriole's function is currently unknown and because of this, it is considered to be useless. Plants don't have centrioles, and it functions just fine as a plant. Centrioles are probably unnecessary in animals as well.
