Centrioles play a crucial role in animal cell division, forming the mitotic spindle.
The absence of centrioles in plant cells is a notable distinction from animal cells.
During cell division, centrioles replicate, and the pairs move to opposite poles of the cell.
Centrioles are often found in pairs, oriented at right angles to each other.
Abnormalities in centriole structure or function can lead to cell division and developmental issues.
