Centriole (animal cells only): Each centriole is a ring of nine groups of fused microtubules. There are three microtubules in each group. Microtubules (and centrioles) are part of the cytoskeleton. In the complete animal cell centrosome, the two centrioles are arranged such that one is perpendicular to the other. this was found on www.cellsalive.com

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 function do centrosomes perform during mitosis

as the answer above is unethical this is what a centrosome does:

Centrosomes are membrane-less structures that are present on both the poles of a cell near the nuclear membrane. These give rise to the spindle fibers on both sides of a dividing cell which attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes during the metaphase of mitosis and meiosis.

-During interphase of an animal cell,the centiroles and other components of the centirole are duplicated,through scientists and etc

-The position of the centirole determines the position of the nucleus and play a crucial role in the spatial arrangement of the cell

-Helps in cell division
