What is the function of the centrioles in animal cells?
  1. To form the basal body of cilia or flagella
  2. To give rise to spindle fibres for cell division
  3. To connect the hub to the peripheral triplets
  4. To provide structural support for the cell

Solution

Centrioles in animal cells are responsible for forming spindle fibres that give rise to the spindle apparatus during cell division. This is an essential process for the proper division of cells.
