Explanation

Centrioles nine sets

1 pts

Centrioles are cylindrical structures found near the nucleus in animal cells. They have a characteristic internal composition.

Centrioles are composed of nine sets of (1), all arranged lengthwise to create a (2) structure.

What do centrioles organize during cell division?

1 pts

volume_mute

During mitosis or meiosis, centrioles become active and play a key organizational role.

During the early stages of spindle formation in animal cells, microtubules radiate outward from each centriole in a star-like pattern.

These formations are called (1).

Structure

Basal bodies

Centrioles

Location

Near the nucleus in animal cells only

At the bases of cilia and flagella in all cells

Basal bodies and centrioles share the same internal structure - nine sets of microtubule triplets arranged in a cylindrical form. However, they are found in different locations.

Match each structure to its location.

Explanation

Select ALL correct statements about centrioles.

1 pts

volume_mute

Select ALL statements that are correct about centrioles.

They are composed of nine sets of microtubule triplets

They replicate during telophase so each daughter cell has its own

They form asters during early spindle formation

They are found in most higher plant cells

They occur in pairs

They are found only in animal cells

Explanation

Sort the events of centriole activity during cell division in the correct sequence.

1 pts

volume_mute

Please drag and drop the options to sort them

Arrange the following events involving centrioles during cell division in the correct order.

Centrioles replicate during telophase so each daughter cell has a pair

Both pairs of centrioles are located just outside the nucleus during interphase

Mitosis begins and centriole pairs move apart

Microtubules radiate around each centriole forming asters

The spindle forms and chromosomes align along it
