Question

What are the rod-like structures made of short microtubules that play an important part in cellular division?

Answer 1

centrioles

Centrioles are rod-like structures made of short microtubules. Nine groups of three microtubules make up each centriole. Two perpendicular centrioles make up the centrosome . Centrioles are very important in cellular division, where they arrange the mitotic spindles that pull the chromosome apart during mitosis.
