Detailed explanation-1: -In animal cells, the major microtubule-organizing center is the centrosome, which is located adjacent to the nucleus near the center of interphase (nondividing) cells (Figure 11.39).
Detailed explanation-2: -The centrosome is a region near the nucleus of animal cells that functions as a microtubule-organizing center. It contains a pair of centrioles, two structures that lie perpendicular to each other. Each centriole is a cylinder of nine triplets of microtubules.
Detailed explanation-3: -The centrosomes duplicate before cell division, so they then help to organize the microtubules and the cell division process.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Golgi Complex Is a Microtubule-organizing Organelle.
Detailed explanation-5: -Found only in animal cells, these paired organelles are typically located together near the nucleus in the centrosome, a granular mass that serves as an organizing center for microtubules.
