| After the male and female pronuclei have come into contact, the spermatozoal centrioles give rise to the first cleavage spindle, which precedes division of the fertilized egg. |
| What we know so far is that centrioles are key players during cell division for the proper separation of chromosomes. |
| In most animal cells, the centrosome contains a pair of centrioles, which consist of an array of microtubules. |
| In animal cells each centrosome contains a pair of cylindrical centrioles, which are themselves composed of complex arrays of microtubules. |
| Here, we draw together recent data on diverse centriole movements to decipher common themes in how centrioles move. |
| No defect was detected in the relocation of the paired centrioles to abut the nuclear membrane or in the initial formation of the annulus. |
