The function of the centrosome is?

Correct answer: D. Formation of spindle fibres

  • A. Osmoregulation
  • B. Secretion
  • C. Protein synthesis
  • D. Formation of spindle fibres

Explanation

The formation of spindle fibers is the function of the centrosome. The centrosome is a microtubule-organizing center that is found in all eukaryotic cells. It is responsible for organizing the microtubules that form the mitotic spindle, which is required for the separation of chromosomes during cell division.
