The mitotic apparatus is made up of microtubules, spindle fibers, and centrosomes. It helps to organize and separate chromosomes during cell division by pulling them apart into two new daughter cells. This process ensures that each new cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.

What is the function of centioles in centrosome of animal cell?

In animal cells the centrioles play a major role in cell division but the plant cells have the ability to reproduce even without the centrioles. In certain animal cells, like the female oocytes, some cells have have shown successful division even in the absence of the centrioles. The absence of centrioles causes divisional errors and delays in the mitotic process. It is consequently suggested that centrioles have evolved as a cell refinement, that makes mitosis a more efficient and lesser error prone process.


What process of cell division produces an exact replica of the cell?

Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells. You can remember that the form of cell division that produces two identical cells has a plus sign in it...the "t." Then you can remember that you get one cell plus another just like it.


What factors contribute to determining what makes a race unique and distinct from others"?

The factors that contribute to determining what makes a race unique and distinct from others include genetic ancestry, physical characteristics, cultural practices, and historical background.


Does organelles make copies of themselves before mitosis?

Yes, organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts replicate themselves before cell division through a process called division, ensuring that each daughter cell receives the necessary organelles for its functions. Other organelles like the Golgi apparatus and lysosomes are mostly recycled and rebuilt after cell division.


What organelle packages proteins and makes lipids?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for the production of lipids and proteins. Rough ER is involved in protein synthesis, while smooth ER synthesizes lipids and detoxifies cells. Once the molecules are produced, they are then packaged and modified by the Golgi apparatus before being transported to their final destination.
