Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During which period of cell cycle does a centriole become a centrosome?
A
Prophase
B
Metaphase
C
Anaphase
D
Telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is, ‘Anaphase’.

Detailed explanation-2: -The centriole replication cycle. G1 cells possess a single centrosome containing a pair of centrioles embedded in an amorphous pericentriolar material. In most somatic cells, centriole duplication occurs during S phase and is marked by the formation of procentrioles at the proximal end of each parental centriole.

Detailed explanation-3: -New centrioles assemble during S phase of the cell cycle in dividing cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Centrioles are located outside of, but near the cell nucleus. In cell division, there are several phases: in order of occurrence they are interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Centrioles have a very important role to play in all phases of cell division.

Detailed explanation-5: -Telophase is the fifth and final phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Telophase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides, or poles, of the cell.
