In a Eukaryotic cell, all of the following are the functions of centrioles EXCEPT that they
Correct answer: B. It serves as the site of connection between sister chromatids.
- A. Help in the cell division of animal cells
- B. It serves as the site of connection between sister chromatids.
- C. Help to determine the location of the nucleus within the cell
- D. Organise microtubules that serve as the cell's skeletal system.
Explanation
Centrioles are primarily involved in cell division and organization of microtubules, which are critical for maintaining the cell's structural integrity and facilitating processes like cell division in animal cells. They do not serve as the site of connection between sister chromatids; this function is performed by the centromere. Option B is the correct answer because it correctly identifies a function that centrioles do not perform. Options A, C, and D describe roles that are indeed associated with centrioles.

About Cytoplasmic Organelles
Cytoplasmic organelles are the specialized structures suspended in cytoplasm, including mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles and centrosomes. Questions compare their structures and functions in animal and plant cells, including chloroplasts and the role of the endomembrane system in transport and secretion.
