  2. Centrosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrosome

    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.

  3. Centrosome cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrosome_cycle

    Each daughter cell inherits two centrioles (one centrosome) surrounded by pericentriolar material as a result of cell division. However, the two centrioles are of different ages. This is because one centriole originates from the mother cell while the other is replicated from the mother centriole during the cell cycle.

  4. Centriole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centriole

    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.

  5. Aster (cell biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aster_(cell_biology)

    An aster is a cellular structure shaped like a star, consisting of a centrosome and its associated microtubules during the early stages of mitosis in an animal cell. [1]: 221 Asters do not form during mitosis in plants. Astral rays, composed of microtubules, radiate from the centrosphere and look like a cloud. Astral rays are one variant of ...

  7. Microtubule organizing center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtubule_organizing_center

    The microtubule-organizing center (MTOC) is a structure found in eukaryotic cells from which microtubules emerge. MTOCs have two main functions: the organization of eukaryotic flagella and cilia and the organization of the mitotic and meiotic spindle apparatus, which separate the chromosomes during cell division.

  8. Centromere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centromere

    The physical role of the centromere is to act as the site of assembly of the kinetochores – a highly complex multiprotein structure that is responsible for the actual events of chromosome segregation – i.e. binding microtubules and signaling to the cell cycle machinery when all chromosomes have adopted correct attachments to the spindle, so ...
