So we have the nine triplets that are connected by these purple regions, our fibers. So now that we know what the centrosome is and what the centriole is. What exactly is the function of our centriole that are found within our centrosome? So we have three very important functions. So function number one is basically what we mentioned earlier. The centrioles, which are found inside a centrosome are involved in cell division, in separating our chromosomes during our cell cycle.
