Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle is critical for cell division?
A
Centrioles/Centrosomes
B
Cilia
C
Vacuoles
D
Vesicles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Centrosomes are organelles that contain centrioles, which play an important role in cell division.

Detailed explanation-2: -Centrioles. Centrioles are organelles involved in cell division. The function of centrioles is to help organize the chromosomes before cell division occurs so that each daughter cell has the correct number of chromosomes after the cell divides.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell organelle which plays an important role in cell division is centriole. It is a cylindrical cell structure composed mainly of a protein called tubulin that is found in most eukaryotic cells. They produce spindle fibers and hold the spindle apparatus required for arrangement of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Within that centrosome there are two centrioles. And centrioles are physical objects made up of things called microtubules. And those centrioles are very important for cell division.

Detailed explanation-5: -The centrosome is an important part of how the cell organizes the cell division. There are a lot of processes that need to be coordinated together when you have two cells, both their nucleus and the cytoplasm, moving away from each other.
