During cell division, it is essential that the genetic material be distributed equally to the resulting cells. This is accomplished through the participation of which one of the following organelles?
A) centrioles
B) ribosomes
C) peroxisomes
D) Golgi apparatus
E) nucleolus

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Centrioles play a crucial role in cell division by organizing the spindle fibers that attach to the chromosomes and pull them apart during cell division, ensuring that the genetic material is evenly distributed between the resulting cells. Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis, not cell division. Peroxisomes are involved in lipid metabolism and detoxification, but not cell division. The Golgi apparatus is involved in processing and packaging of proteins, lipids, and other macromolecules, but not cell division. The nucleolus is involved in the production of ribosomes.
