Here's how it works:
* Centrioles are small, cylindrical structures found in pairs near the nucleus.
* During cell division, they duplicate and move to opposite poles of the cell.
* They help to form the spindle fibers, which are made of microtubules.
* The spindle fibers attach to chromosomes and pull them apart, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
While other organelles like the nucleus (which contains the genetic material) and ribosomes (which synthesize proteins) are crucial for cell function, the centrioles are specifically involved in the process of cell division.
