what are called centriols?
A centriole is a specialized organelle, also called a cell body, that is found in the cells of most animals. It is roughly tubular in shape and plays an important role in cell division.In addition to playing an important role in cell division, a centriole also helps to provide structural support for its parent cell. It would also appear that this organelle has its own unique genetic code that is distinct from the code of the cell; scientists believe that this code allows the centrosome to divide and carry out its various functions in the cell.
