3D rendering of centrioles showing the triplets. In cell biology a centriole is a cylindrical organelle composed mainly of a protein called tubulin. [1] Centrioles are found in most eukaryotic cells, but are not present in conifers (), flowering plants (angiosperms) and most fungi, and are only present in the male gametes of charophytes, bryophytes, seedless vascular plants, cycads, and Ginkgo.

The mother centriole just aids in the accumulation of materials required for the assembly of the daughter centriole. [17] Centrosome (shown by arrow) next to nucleus. Centrioles, however, are not required for the progression of mitosis. When the centrioles are irradiated by a laser, mitosis proceeds normally with a morphologically normal spindle.

However, the two centrioles are of different ages. This is because one centriole originates from the mother cell while the other is replicated from the mother centriole during the cell cycle. It is possible to distinguish between the two preexisting centrioles because the mother and daughter centriole differ in both shape and function. [5]

Basal bodies originate from and have a substructure similar to that of centrioles, with nine peripheral microtubule triplets (see structure at bottom center of image). A basal body (synonymous with basal granule , kinetosome , and in older cytological literature with blepharoplast ) is a protein structure found at the base of a eukaryotic ...
In cell biology, a diplosome refers to the pair of centrioles which are arranged perpendicularly to one another located near the nucleus. [1] The diplosome plays a role in many processes such as in primary cilium development, spermiogenesis of teleosts , and mitosis .
