What is the primary function of centrioles in eukaryotic cells?
A
To store and modify lipids and proteins
B
To produce ATP through cellular respiration
C
To synthesize proteins by translating mRNA
D
To assist in cell division by organizing the mitotic spindle
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that centrioles are cylindrical structures found in eukaryotic cells, primarily involved in cell division.
Recognize that during cell division, centrioles play a crucial role in organizing the mitotic spindle, which is essential for the separation of chromosomes.
Differentiate the function of centrioles from other cellular organelles: they do not store or modify lipids and proteins, produce ATP, or synthesize proteins.
Recall that the mitotic spindle is a structure made of microtubules that segregates chromosomes into the daughter cells during mitosis.
Conclude that the primary function of centrioles is to assist in cell division by organizing the mitotic spindle, ensuring accurate chromosome separation.
