The mother centriole, the older of the two in the centriole pair, also has a central role in making cilia and flagella. [10] The centrosome is copied only once per cell cycle, so that each daughter cell inherits one centrosome, containing two structures called centrioles. The centrosome replicates during the S phase of the cell cycle.
Centrosome disorientation refers to the loss of orthogonality between the mother and daughter centrioles. [2] Once disorientation occurs, the mature centriole begins to move toward the cleave furrow. It has been proposed that this movement is a key step in abscission , the terminal phase of cell division.
3D rendering of centrioles showing the triplets. In cell biology a centriole is a cylindrical organelle composed mainly of a protein called tubulin. [1] Centrioles are found in most eukaryotic cells, but are not present in conifers (), flowering plants (angiosperms) and most fungi, and are only present in the male gametes of charophytes, bryophytes, seedless vascular plants, cycads, and Ginkgo.

During metaphase, the kinetochore microtubules extending from each centrosome connect to the centromeres of the chromosomes. Next, during anaphase, the kinetochore microtubules pull the sister chromatids apart into individual chromosomes and pull them towards the centrosomes, located at opposite ends of the cell. This allows the cell to divide ...
In this diagram of a duplicated chromosome, (2) identifies the centromere—the region that joins the two sister chromatids, or each half of the chromosome.In prophase of mitosis, specialized regions on centromeres called kinetochores attach chromosomes to spindle fibers.
Basal bodies originate from and have a substructure similar to that of centrioles, with nine peripheral microtubule triplets (see structure at bottom center of image). A basal body (synonymous with basal granule , kinetosome , and in older cytological literature with blepharoplast ) is a protein structure found at the base of a eukaryotic ...
