During animal cell division, the spindle fibers are formed from:
Correct answer: B. Centrioles
- A. Mitochondria
- B. Centrioles
- C. Ribosomes
- D. Lysosomes
Explanation
Spindle fibers are made up of microtubules. There are two centrioles in the non-dividing stage of a cell. Each centriole has nine microtubule triplets. During the dividing stage of cell spindle fibers arise from these centrioles

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
