Best Answer

Centrioles are a cell organelle which are located in animal cells. They are made of 9 sets of microtubules, which are in groups of 3. There are two centrioles in each cell, and together with dense matter they create a centrosome. The centrioles are perpendicular to each other. They are important in the organization on the cell. Their most important role in a cell is when the cell divides. The two centrioles split and move in opposite directions from each other outwards from the nucleus. They produce mitotic spindle which is responsible for separating or pulling replicated chromosomes to the two daughter cells.

Many believe that it is involved in cell division and formation of spindles, but the exact function is unknown. When removed, the cell still functions normally and goes through cell division and forms spindles.

Okay...the centrioles of a cell helps the cell to divide (reproduce). Cell reproducing happens in mitosis and meiosis. When the cell gets through the phase (time) where it's about to divide, (anaphase in mitosis) and (anaphase 1 in meiosis), the centrioles move to the opposite sides of the cell. NOTE: Mitosis: It's when the normal kind of cells reproduce (examples: skin cells, organ cells) Meiosis: It's when the sex cells reproduce (example: human and animal sex cells) If this even help a bit, please tell me!!...I'm a first timer ..if it doesn't, please still tell me. thank you

They help copy chromosomes by grounding spindle fibers.

What part of cell helps with cell reproduction?

The part of the cell that helps with reproduction is the centriole. This is made possible by the mitotic spindles that are made by the centriole.

What is a centriole?

The centriole is the part of the cell that goes to the end of each cell during prophase and forms spindal fibers.A centriol is what divides cells and is only in animal cells
