Relaxing When There's no Work
When the time comes for cell division, the centrioles will appear and move to opposite ends of the nucleus. During division you will see four centrioles. One pair moves in each direction. Interphase is the time when the cell is at rest.
During which phase of mitosis do the centrioles appear?
Prophase is the first stage of mitosis, during which the cell begins to position itself in order to separate the chromatids and divide. During prophase, the nuclear envelope and nucleolus are dissolved and the chromosomes condense. The centrioles and spindle fibers begin to form at opposite poles of the cell.
Where do centrioles appear?
Centrioles are paired barrel-shaped organelles located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope.
