it is an area in the cell where microtubules are produced.
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.
Animal cells have centrosomes.
Centrosomes assist animal cells during cell division. The centrosomes interact with the chromosomes in order to build the mitotic spindle. Additionally, the older of the two centrioles after the nucleus splits plays an important role in making the cilia and flagella.
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.
centrosomes
Nick and Ian
yes.
They help make microtubules.
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.
centriole
yes
